1. **Problem Statement:**
Mukasa travels from town B to village A at 15 km/hr, leaving at 1:06 pm and arriving at 3:06 pm.
Okot travels from village A to town B, starting at noon, riding 20 km/hr for 45 minutes, resting 30 minutes, then riding 5 km/hr until arriving at 2:45 pm.
2. **Goal:**
Find the distance between town B and village A and analyze the travel times and speeds.
3. **Step 1: Calculate Mukasa's travel time and distance.**
Mukasa's travel time = 3:06 pm - 1:06 pm = 2 hours.
Speed = 15 km/hr.
Distance = speed × time = $15 \times 2 = 30$ km.
4. **Step 2: Analyze Okot's travel segments.**
- First segment: 45 minutes = 0.75 hours at 20 km/hr.
Distance = $20 \times 0.75 = 15$ km.
- Rest: 30 minutes (no distance).
- Remaining time: From 12:00 pm to 2:45 pm is 2.75 hours total.
Time spent riding after rest = $2.75 - 0.75 - 0.5 = 1.5$ hours.
Speed = 5 km/hr.
Distance = $5 \times 1.5 = 7.5$ km.
5. **Step 3: Total distance Okot traveled:**
$15 + 7.5 = 22.5$ km.
6. **Step 4: Compare distances:**
Mukasa's distance = 30 km.
Okot's distance = 22.5 km.
Since both travel between the same two points, this suggests a discrepancy or different routes.
7. **Step 5: Mathematical graph function:**
We can model distance from starting point over time for both travelers.
For Mukasa (starting at 1:06 pm, $t$ in hours after 1:06 pm):
$$
y = 15t, \quad 0 \leq t \leq 2
$$
For Okot (starting at noon, $t$ in hours after 12:00 pm):
$$
y = \begin{cases}
20t, & 0 \leq t \leq 0.75 \\
15, & 0.75 < t \leq 1.25 \\
15 + 5(t - 1.25), & 1.25 < t \leq 2.75
\end{cases}
$$
This piecewise function models Okot's distance over time.
**Final answer:**
Distance between town B and village A is 30 km (Mukasa's route).
