Bob and Kristen Williams decide to go on a vacation. They live in San Francisco, California, and plan to drive to New Orleans, Louisiana.
a) Obtain a map that shows routes that they may take from San Francisco to New Orleans. Write directions for them from San Francisco to New Orleans via the shortest distance. Use major highways whenever possible.
b) Use the scale on the map to estimate the one-way distance to New Orleans.
c) If the Williams estimate that they will average 50 mph (including comfort stops), estimate the travel time, in hours, to New Orleans.

e) If they begin each segment of the trip each day at 9 A.M., at about what time will they look for a hotel each evening?
f) Use the information provided in parts (a) through (e) to estimate the time of day they will arrive in New Orleans.
g) Estimate the mileage of a typical midsized car and the cost per gallon of a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline. Then estimate the cost of gasoline for the Williams’ trip.
h) Estimate the cost of a typical breakfast, a typical lunch, and a typical dinner for two adults, and the cost of a typical motel room. Then estimate the total cost, including meals, gas, and lodging, for the Williams’ trip from San Francisco to New Orleans (one way).
