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.

Based on the plotted points on the graph, the person who ran 2.12 km in 45 minutes is Paul.
Based on the given information on the line graph, the person who ran 2.12 kilometers in 45 minutes is Paul.
To answer this question, we need to find the person who ran 2.12 km in 45 minutes. Let's analyze the given information on the line graph.
The x-axis represents time in minutes, and the y-axis represents distance in kilometers.
According to the graph, Bella's line passes through the point (45, 3.5), Ruby's line passes through the point (40, 2.5), Greg's line passes through the point (45, 2.5), and Paul's line passes through the point (25, 1).
To determine who ran 2.12 km in 45 minutes, we need to find the point where the distance is 2.12 km (2.12 on the y-axis) and the time is 45 minutes (45 on the x-axis).
Based on the given points on the graph, we can see that none of the lines pass through the point (45, 2.12). Therefore, none of the participants ran exactly 2.12 km in 45 minutes.
So, the correct answer is: None of the four participants, Bella, Ruby, Greg, or Paul, ran 2.12 km in 45 minutes.
