B?
Right.
To determine the relationship between the time the train left Austin and the time it arrived in San Antonio, we need to calculate the time difference for each night.
Calculating the time difference for each night:
1. Monday: Arrival time - Departure time = 7:22pm - 6:30pm = 52 minutes
2. Tuesday: Arrival time - Departure time = 7:10pm - 6:18pm = 52 minutes
3. Wednesday: Arrival time - Departure time = 7:37pm - 6:45pm = 52 minutes
4. Thursday: Arrival time - Departure time = 7:57pm - 7:05pm = 52 minutes
5. Friday: Arrival time - Departure time = 7:20pm - 6:28pm = 52 minutes
Since the time difference is consistently 52 minutes, we can conclude that the train arrived in San Antonio 52 minutes after it left Austin.
Therefore, the correct answer is B. The train arrived in San Antonio 52 minutes after it left Austin.
