To answer the question, we first need to determine how far Runner 1 has traveled after 6 seconds, how long it takes for Runner 2 to travel 10 feet, and then determine which runner would win a race traveling a distance of 100 feet.
-
Runner 1's distance after 6 seconds: Assuming that this was provided in the graph, we'll need that value to fill it into the first response area. For the sake of this example, let’s say Runner 1 has traveled 60 feet after 6 seconds.
-
Runner 2's time to travel 10 feet: Again, we need the information from the graph. Let’s assume it takes Runner 2 5 seconds to travel 10 feet.
-
Winner of the race: To figure out who would win, we can find out how long it takes each runner to travel 100 feet based on their rates of speed derived from the data.
- For Runner 1, whose rate can be calculated based on the distance traveled in the given time (60 feet in 6 seconds = 10 feet/second), traveling 100 feet would take 10 seconds.
- For Runner 2, whose rate can be calculated from the information above (10 feet in 5 seconds = 2 feet/second), traveling 100 feet would take 50 seconds.
Thus, Runner 1 would win the race.
Here’s how the responses fit:
- Runner 1 has traveled 60 feet after 6 seconds. (first response area)
- Runner 2 has traveled 10 feet after 5 seconds. (second response area)
- Runner 1 would win the race. (third response area)
So the filled input areas would look like this:
- Distance for Runner 1 after 6 seconds: 60
- Time for Runner 2 to travel 10 feet: 5
- Winner of the race: Runner 1
