Read each question carefully and answer to the best of your ability. Pay close attention to the details of the step graphs provided.
A step graph is a special type of graph that looks like steps. It is used to show how a quantity changes abruptly at certain points, staying constant between those points. Think about the cost of mailing a letter: it stays the same for a certain weight range, then jumps up to a new price for the next weight range.
The graph below shows the cost of a parking garage based on the duration of parking. Use it to answer the questions.
1. What is the cost to park for exactly 1 hour?
$5
$10
$15
$20
2. If you park for 2 hours and 30 minutes, what will be the cost?
$10
$15
$20
$25
3. On a step graph, an open circle means the value at that point is .
4. On a step graph, a closed circle means the value at that point is .
5. The cost of parking for 0.5 hours is .
6. Explain in your own words what a step graph represents.
7. Give an example of a real-world situation, other than parking or mailing, where a step graph could be used to represent data.
8. The cost of parking for exactly 3 hours is $15.
True
False
9. If you park for 3 hours and 59 minutes, the cost is the same as parking for exactly 3 hours.
