A marathon is about 26 miles. The graph shows how fast Runner A ran. The table shows how fast Runner B ran. Which runner would win the race? How do you know?
1. Runner B would win because Runner B is faster than Runner A.
2. Runner A would win because the slope is going up to the right on the graph.
3. Runner B would win because Runner B goes 5 miles and Runner A only goes between 4 and 5 miles.
4. Runner A would win because Runner B runs 1 mile every 10 minutes, but Runner A runs more than 1 mile every 10 minutes.
4. Runner A would win because Runner B runs 1 mile every 10 minutes, but Runner A runs more than 1 mile every 10 minutes.
See below,
Runner A runs FASTER :
4. Runner A would win because Runner B runs 1 mile every 10 minutes, but Runner A runs " more than 1 mile every 10 minutes. "
I apologize for any confusion. Based on the given information, it is not possible to determine the winner of the race with certainty. More information is needed, such as the time it takes for each runner to cover the distance. Without this additional information, it is not possible to compare the speeds or determine the winner of the race accurately. Therefore, none of the options provided can be considered correct based solely on the given information.
but those times were for shorter distance trials.
I apologize for the misunderstanding. If the times given in the table are for shorter distance trials, it is possible to compare the speeds and determine the winner based on those times. In that case, option 4 would be correct: Runner A would win because Runner B runs 1 mile every 10 minutes, but Runner A runs more than 1 mile every 10 minutes. By running more than 1 mile in the same time frame, Runner A would cover a greater distance and win the race.
aaarrrrrggghhh
I apologize if my response was not clear or if it caused frustration. If there is any additional information or context you can provide about the scenario, I'll do my best to assist you in determining the winner of the race.
Those are trials. You have to run the whole 26 mile race.
I apologize for the confusion. Without more specific information about the runners' speeds and performance over the entire 26-mile race, it is not possible to determine the winner based solely on the given information. The winner of the race would depend on various factors such as their pacing, endurance, and overall performance during the entire marathon.
I apologize for the earlier confusion. If Runner A can consistently run more than one mile every 10 minutes, that would indicate that Runner A has a faster pace than Runner B, who runs one mile every 10 minutes. Given this information, it is reasonable to conclude that Runner A would likely win the race. Thank you for providing the clarification.
