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 2 1/2 km in 45 minutes.
o Bella
o Paul
o Greg
o Ruby
To determine who ran 2 1/2 km in 45 minutes, we need to find the corresponding point on the graph for a distance of 2 1/2 km (or 2.5 km) and a time of 45 minutes.
Looking at the graph, we can see that the line for Greg intersects the point (2.5, 45), which means Greg is the person who ran 2 1/2 km in 45 minutes. Therefore, the answer is:
o Greg
Based on the graph, the person who ran 2 1/2 km in 45 minutes is Ruby.
To determine the person who ran 2 1/2 km in 45 minutes based on the graph, we need to find the corresponding point on the graph where the distance is 2 1/2 km and the time is 45 minutes.
Looking at the graph, locate the point where the line intersects the value of 2.5 on the distance axis, and then trace horizontally to find the corresponding time value of 45 minutes on the time axis.
Once you identify the point that represents these values, you can determine the person who ran 2 1/2 km in 45 minutes. The graph shows that this point corresponds to Bella. Therefore, Bella is the person who ran 2 1/2 km in 45 minutes.
