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.

To determine who ran 2.12 km in 45 minutes based on the graph, we need to analyze the plotted points for the participants.

The line for Bella passes through (45, 3.5), meaning Bella ran 3.5 km in 45 minutes.

The line for Ruby passes through (40, 2.5), meaning Ruby ran 2.5 km in 40 minutes.

The line for Greg passes through (45, 2.5), meaning Greg ran 2.5 km in 45 minutes.

The line for Paul passes through (25, 1), meaning Paul ran 1 km in 25 minutes.

Since none of the participants ran 2.12 km in 45 minutes, it appears there may be a misunderstanding in the question. However, if the focus is on who ran 2.5 km in the closest time to 45 minutes, the answer would be Greg.

Nevertheless, based solely on the given options and details about 2.12 km, none specifically corresponds.

If we have to choose based solely on performance at 45 minutes:

The closest participant running notably near to 45 minutes is Greg.

Therefore, the answer is Greg.
