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?
a)Runner B would win because Runner B goes 5 miles and Runner A only goes between 4 and 5 miles.
b)Runner B would win because Runner B is faster than Runner A.
c)Runner A would win because Runner B runs 1 mile every 10 minutes, but Runner A runs more than 1 mile every 10 minutes. d)Runner A would win because the slope is going up to the right on the graph.
b)Runner B would win because Runner B is faster than Runner A.
From the table, the fastest speed Runner B ran was 6 miles per hour, while Runner A's fastest speed was only 5 miles per hour. Therefore, Runner B has a higher speed and would be able to cover the 26 miles distance of a marathon faster than Runner A.
