Four friends ran a 5K to raise money for their school. The graph shows their rates as a ratio of distance measured in kilometers and time in minutes. Based on the points shown, name the person who ran 212 km in 45 minutes.

To determine who ran 212 km in 45 minutes based on the provided graph, we need to analyze the rates of each friend. The rate can be calculated as:

\[ \text{Rate} = \frac{\text{Distance (km)}}{\text{Time (min)}} \]

In this case, we can compute the rate for the person who ran 212 km in 45 minutes:

\[ \text{Rate} = \frac{212 \text{ km}}{45 \text{ min}} \approx 4.711 \text{ km/min} \]

You will need to examine the graph to see which friend has a corresponding point that shows a rate close to 4.711 km/min. If you can identify that point on the graph, then you can name the person based on that data.

Since I do not have access to the graph itself, I recommend you look for the point (or calculated rate) that matches approximately 4.71 km/min to identify the appropriate friend.
