Use the image to answer the question.

A line graph titled 5 Kilometer Run shows time in minutes on the x-axis and distance in kilometers on the y-axis. The graph shows the trend for four participants: Bella, Ruby, Greg, and Paul. The x-axis ranges from 0 to 60 in increments of 10. The y-axis ranges from 0 to 15 in increments of 2.5. A line labeled Bella starts at the origin and passes through plotted point left parenthesis 45 comma 3.5 right parenthesis. A line labeled Ruby starts at the origin and passes through plotted point left parenthesis 40 comma 2.5 right parenthesis. A line labeled Greg starts at the origin and passes through plotted point left parenthesis 45 comma 2.5 right parenthesis. A line labeled Paul starts at the origin and passes through plotted point left parenthesis 25 comma 1 right parenthesis.

Four friends ran a 5K to raise money for their school. The graph shows their rates as a ratio of distance measured in kilometers and time in minutes. Based on the points shown, name the person who ran 212 km in 45 minutes.

Answer 1

Based on the information provided from the graph, none of the participants ran 212 km in 45 minutes. In fact, the distances indicated on the graphed lines only reach a maximum distance of 5 km (as that is the distance of the run) and are plotted at various points up to 3.5 km for Bella at that time.

If the question were to determine the distance run by each participant at 45 minutes, we see:

• Bella reached 3.5 km in 45 minutes.
• Ruby reached 2.5 km in 40 minutes.
• Greg reached 2.5 km in 45 minutes.
• Paul only reached 1 km in 25 minutes.

None of the participants ran 212 km in 45 minutes according to the details of the graph. The maximum distances they achieved at corresponding times is far below 5 km, and no one is shown to have a speed or capacity to cover such a distance.

If the intent is to select the person who exhibited the highest performance at 45 minutes as demonstrated on the graph for practical markers, we would consider Bella first, as she covered the highest distance of 3.5 km at that time.

If you need a response based solely on the original question focused on the graph's context, it would be:

Bella
