Two bikers track how many miles they traveled for each hour they spent biking. Biker A's distance traveled is shown in the graph above. Biker B's distance traveled is shown in the table above. Using the data above, which Biker can cycle faster? How fast were they traveling?

Question

(1 point)
• Biker A can cycle faster, 15 mph
• Biker B can cycle faster, 12 mph
• Biker A can cycle faster, 12 mph
• Biker B can cycle faster, 15 mph

Answer 1

To determine which biker can cycle faster and the speed they were traveling, we need to analyze their distance data.

1. Biker A: Assuming the graph shows a constant rate of distance over time, we can look at the slope of the line. If the graph indicates Biker A traveled 15 miles in 1 hour, the speed is then 15 mph.

2. Biker B: According to the table, if it lists distances at certain time intervals, we can calculate the speed by taking the distance traveled over the time taken. For example, if Biker B traveled 12 miles in 1 hour, the speed would be 12 mph.

Once you compare both speeds:

• If Biker A is at 15 mph and Biker B at 12 mph, then Biker A can cycle faster at 15 mph.
• Conversely, if the numbers are different, you would assign the speeds accordingly.

Based on typical problem scenarios resembling the one you're asking about, the most likely correct answer is:

• Biker A can cycle faster, 15 mph.

However, to definitively answer, you'd need the actual graph and table data described.
