To determine who ran 212 km in 45 minutes based on their rates shown in the graph, we can convert the distance and time into a rate.

First, we need to calculate the rate:

  • Distance = 212 km
  • Time = 45 minutes (or 0.75 hours, since 45 minutes is 0.75 of an hour).

The speed is calculated by dividing the distance by the time: \[ \text{Rate} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}} = \frac{212 \text{ km}}{0.75 \text{ hours}} = 282.67 \text{ km/hour} \]

Now we would compare this rate to the rates for Greg, Bella, Ruby, and Paul shown in the graph. However, since I do not have access to the graph or specific rates for each of the friends, you would need to look at their respective rates and match 282.67 km/hour to one of them.

Once you find the matching rate, that person would be the one who ran 212 km in 45 minutes.
