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.
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 212 km in 45 minutes.

Based on the given information and the graph, the person who ran 2.12 km in 45 minutes is Ruby.
To answer the question, we need to find the person who ran 2.12 km in 45 minutes. Looking at the graph, we can identify that the line labeled Ruby passes through the point (40, 2.5). However, it does not pass through the point (45, 3.5), indicating that Ruby did not run 2.12 km in 45 minutes. Similarly, the lines labeled Greg and Paul also do not pass through the given point.
On the other hand, the line labeled Bella passes through the point (45, 3.5). However, since Bella's running rate is given in kilometers per minute, we cannot match her rate with the given distance of 2.12 km.
Therefore, the correct answer is that none of the participants, Bella, Ruby, Greg, or Paul, ran 2.12 km in 45 minutes, based on the information provided in the given graph.
