A.
Pete's marble will reach 6 feet fastest because Pete's marble travels at 2.25 feet per second and Stephano's Marble travels at 3 feet per second.

B.
Stephano's marble will reach 6 feet fastest because Stephano's marble can travel to 6 feet, but Pete's Marble only travels to 5 feet.

C.
Stephano's marble will reach 6 feet fastest because Pete's marble travels at 1.50 feet per second and Stephano's marble travels at 2.25 feet per second.

D.
Stephano's marble travels faster that Pete's marble because the speed of Stephano's marble is given.

From the graph Pete’s marble travels 1.50 ft/s (slope = 1.5). Stephano’s speed is 2.25 ft/s. Time to 6 ft: Pete = 6 ÷ 1.5 = 4 s, Stephano = 6 ÷ 2.25 = 2.67 s. Stephano reaches 6 ft first.
