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.

(1 point)
Responses
A Bella
B Ruby
C Paul
D Greg
The person who ran 2.12 km in 45 minutes is Ruby. So, the correct answer is B) Ruby.
To determine the person who ran 2.12 km in 45 minutes, we need to find the corresponding point on the graph.
According to the given information, the line labeled "Bella" passes through the point (45, 3.5). This means that Bella ran 3.5 km in 45 minutes.
The line labeled "Ruby" passes through the point (40, 2.5), indicating that Ruby ran 2.5 km in 40 minutes.
The line labeled "Greg" passes through the point (45, 2.5), indicating that Greg ran 2.5 km in 45 minutes.
The line labeled "Paul" passes through the point (25, 1), indicating that Paul ran 1 km in 25 minutes.
Therefore, none of the given options match the person who ran 2.12 km in 45 minutes based on the provided graph.
To find out who ran 2.12 km in 45 minutes, we need to look at the y-axis of the graph and find the point where the distance is approximately 2.12 km. In this case, we can see that Bella's line passes through the point (45, 3.5). Therefore, we can conclude that Bella ran 2.12 km in 45 minutes.
So the correct answer is:
A. Bella
