Based on the graph and the given information, the person who ran 2 1/2 km in 45 minutes is Ruby.
Based on the points shown on the graph, the person who ran 2/1/2 km in 45 minutes is Ruby.
To determine which person ran 2 1/2 km (or 2.5 km) in 45 minutes based on the graph, you need to find the point on the graph where the ratio of distance to time matches the given values.
First, locate the point on the graph where the ratio of distance is approximately 2.5 km. Trace a straight line from this point horizontally until it intersects with one of the four lines representing the runners.
Next, locate the point on the graph where the ratio of time is approximately 45 minutes. Trace a straight line from this point vertically until it intersects with the same line representing the runner you chose in the previous step.
The person whose line intersects both the horizontal line for 2.5 km and the vertical line for 45 minutes is the one who ran that distance in that time.
Based on the information provided, it is not possible to determine from the graph alone which person ran 2.5 km in 45 minutes.
