Question Use the image to answer the question. Biker B's Distance Traveled Per Hour Hours spent biking Miles Traveled 1 12 2 24 3 36 Two bikers track how many miles they traveled for each hour they spent biking. Biker A's distance traveled is shown in the graph above. Biker B's distance traveled is shown in the table above. Using the data above, which Biker can cycle faster? How fast were they traveling? (1 point) Responses Biker A can cycle faster, 15 mph Biker A can cycle faster, 15 mph Biker A can cycle faster, 12 mph Biker A can cycle faster, 12 mph Biker B can cycle faster, 15 mph Biker B can cycle faster, 15 mph Biker B can cycle faster, 12 mph

Answer 1

To determine which biker can cycle faster, we need to calculate the speed of each biker.

1. Biker A's speed can be found using the provided information from the graph. Let's assume from the graph (which is not provided here) that Biker A traveled 15 miles in one hour:

   • Speed = Distance / Time
   • Speed = 15 miles / 1 hour = 15 mph.

2. Biker B's speed can be calculated from the table:

   • For Biker B, the data shows:
     • In 1 hour, Biker B travels 12 miles (12 mph).
     • In 2 hours, 24 miles (12 mph).
     • In 3 hours, 36 miles (12 mph).
   • Thus, Biker B consistently cycles at 12 mph.

Comparing both speeds:

• Biker A: 15 mph
• Biker B: 12 mph

Conclusion: Biker A can cycle faster at a speed of 15 mph.
