Worksheet
Part A: Directions
1. Choose two different departure and arrival cities in the Philippines to ship goods
between. Find two cities that are close together (Distance 1) and two that are far apart
(Distance 2) andwrite that distance in the corresponding table below.
2. Use a map to determine the distance in miles between the two cities and record the
informationin the table below. Write the item to be transported in the table below.
3.
Calculate how long it will take to transport the item to one of the cities. Use the
following formula:
Example: If I choose to ship cars from Los Angeles, CA to New York, NY (2,788 miles) by
train, I would check the train column and calculate the time required for transport.
However, if I were going to send cars from Denver, CO, to Boulder, CO, I would
probablyuse a truck. How would this affect the time?
Table – Part A:
Departure City 1: Lapu Lapu City
Arrival City 1: Mandaue City
Distance 1: 4.7 km = 2.92 miles
Departure City 2: Cebu City
Arrival City 2: Ormoc City, Leyte
Distance 2: 201.6 km = 125.27 miles
