Question

Tyler and Elena are on the cross country team.

Answer 1

Answer:

Tyler ran 0.06 miles farther than Elena

Step-by-step explanation:

From the graph we can find the distance ran by Tyler in 10 minutes is approximately 1.24 miles

Given the equation for Elena's distances and times is

y=8.5x, where x is the distance in miles and y is the time in minutes, we can know the value of x when y = 10 minutes

$x=\frac{y}{8.5} =\frac{10}{8.5}=1.18$ miles

With this numbers at hand, we can infer Tyler ran 1.24 - 1.18 = 0.06 miles farther than Elena
