Question

A line graph titled 5 Kilometer Run shows time in minutes on the x-axis and distance in kilometers on the y-axis. The graph shows the trend for four participants: Bella, Ruby, Greg, and Paul. The x-axis ranges from 0 to 60 in increments of 10. The y-axis ranges from 0 to 15 in increments of 2.5. A line labeled Bella starts at the origin and passes through plotted point left parenthesis 45 comma 3.5 right parenthesis. A line labeled Ruby starts at the origin and passes through plotted point left parenthesis 40 comma 2.5 right parenthesis. A line labeled Greg starts at the origin and passes through plotted point left parenthesis 45 comma 2.5 right parenthesis. A line labeled Paul starts at the origin and passes through plotted point left parenthesis 25 comma 1 right parenthesis.

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.

Answer 1

To determine who ran 2.12 km in 45 minutes, we need to look at the distances covered by each participant at the 45-minute mark based on the graph provided in your description.

From the graph:

• Bella reached 3.5 km in 45 minutes.
• Ruby reached 2.5 km in 40 minutes (not applicable here).
• Greg reached 2.5 km in 45 minutes.
• Paul reached 1 km in 25 minutes (not applicable here).

Based on this information, at the 45-minute mark, both Bella and Greg are mentioned. However, Greg's distance is 2.5 km, while Bella's is 3.5 km.

Since none of the runners specifically ran 2.12 km in 45 minutes based on the data, but you may be looking for which one is closest in distance covered. Since both Bella and Greg were at the 45-minute mark, the closest to running just over 2 km at that time would be Greg, as he ran 2.5 km.

Thus, the answer is Greg.
