four friends ran a 5k to raise money for their school. the graph shows their rates asa a ratio of distance measured in kilometers

It looks like you are referencing a graph that shows the rates of four friends running a 5k in terms of the distance covered. Since I don't have access to the actual graph, I can't analyze it directly, but I can help you understand how to interpret such a graph or answer questions related to running rates, ratios, distances, or fundraising events.

If the graph shows their rates as a ratio of distance, it likely represents the distance they covered over time. For a 5k, which is approximately 3.1 miles, you might see the distances plotted against the time taken or their running speeds.

Here are some guiding points to consider:

  1. Rate Calculation: You can find each friend's average running speed by dividing the distance run (5 kilometers) by the time it took them to complete the race.

    • Formula: Speed (km/h) = Distance (km) / Time (hours)
  2. Comparison: The graph might also allow you to compare the friends' performances. Look for the steepness of the lines on the graph. A steeper line indicates a faster speed.

  3. Fundraising Impact: If the event was for fundraising, you might also want to relate their running results to how much money each friend raised.

If you have specific data points or details from the graph, feel free to share them, and I can help you analyze or calculate what you need!
