Question

Two bikers track how many miles they traveled for 8 hour they spent biking biker A's distant travel is shown in the graph above biker B's distant traveled is shown in the table above using the data above which biker can cycle faster how fast were they traveling biker beats travel per hour our spent biking 1, 2, 3 and Miles traveled 12, 24, 36 biker As distance traveled per hour Miles traveled 15, 30, 45 hours spent biking 1, 2, 3 A biker a can cycle faster 15 mph B biker beach and cycle faster 12 mph C biker beak and cycle faster 15 mph D biker a can cycle faster 12 mph

Answer 1

To determine which biker can travel faster, we need to calculate their speeds based on the information provided.

**Biker A:**
- Distance traveled in 1 hour = 15 miles
- Distance traveled in 2 hours = 30 miles
- Distance traveled in 3 hours = 45 miles

From this data, we can see that biker A's speed is consistent at:
- Speed = Distance ÷ Time = 15 miles ÷ 1 hour = 15 mph

**Biker B:**
- Distance traveled in 1 hour = 12 miles
- Distance traveled in 2 hours = 24 miles
- Distance traveled in 3 hours = 36 miles

From this data, we can see that biker B's speed is consistent at:
- Speed = Distance ÷ Time = 12 miles ÷ 1 hour = 12 mph

Now we can compare their speeds:
- Biker A: 15 mph
- Biker B: 12 mph

Based on this information:
- **Biker A can cycle faster at 15 mph.**

So the correct answer is:
**A: Biker A can cycle faster 15 mph.**
