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.

To determine who ran 2.12 km in 45 minutes based on the given information, we need to look at the plotted points for each participant:

  • Bella: 3.5 km in 45 minutes
  • Ruby: 2.5 km in 40 minutes
  • Greg: 2.5 km in 45 minutes
  • Paul: 1 km in 25 minutes

From the options provided, none of the participants specifically ran 2.12 km in 45 minutes. However, if we consider that the question may relate to a participant with a similar performance, we see that Greg ran 2.5 km in 45 minutes, which is the closest distance to 2.12 km within the given time frame.

Thus, while the answer isn't exactly 2.12 km at 45 minutes, the best response based on the data shown in the graph would be:

Greg.
