Answer 1

To determine who ran 2 1/2 km in 45 minutes, we can look at the graph you mentioned and find the point that corresponds to that distance and time. However, since I cannot see the graph, I will provide you with a method to identify the correct answer:

1. Calculate the rate for each friend based on the distance and time.
2. The rate is typically calculated as distance divided by time. In this case:
   • 2.5 km divided by 45 minutes = 2.5 / 45 km/min.
3. Compare the calculated rate with the rates shown for each friend in the graph.

Once you find the friend with the rate that matches the calculation, you can identify who ran 2 1/2 km in 45 minutes. If you remember the values for each friend, you can apply the same approach.

If you have the data for each person provided, please share it, and I'll help you deduce the answer!
