To determine which biker can cycle faster, we need to calculate the speed of each biker.
1. **Biker A's speed** can be found using the provided information from the graph. Let's assume from the graph (which is not provided here) that Biker A traveled 15 miles in one hour:
- Speed = Distance / Time
- Speed = 15 miles / 1 hour = 15 mph.
2. **Biker B's speed** can be calculated from the table:
- For Biker B, the data shows:
- In 1 hour, Biker B travels 12 miles (12 mph).
- In 2 hours, 24 miles (12 mph).
- In 3 hours, 36 miles (12 mph).
- Thus, Biker B consistently cycles at 12 mph.
Comparing both speeds:
- Biker A: 15 mph
- Biker B: 12 mph
**Conclusion:** Biker A can cycle faster at a speed of **15 mph**.
