Answer:
- Tyler
- 2 hundredths of a mile
Step-by-step explanation:
The graph is a little difficult to read, but we note that there are 6 grid lines between times that are 2 minutes apart. So, each grid line stands for 2/6 = 1/3 minute.
At the 1-mile mark, the graph crosses 1 grid line above 8 minutes, indicating it takes Tyler 8 1/3 minutes to run 1 mile.
Then in 10 minutes, Tyler will run ...
distance = speed · time = 1 mile/(8 1/3 min) · 10 min
= 1/(25/3)·10 = 10·3/25 = 30/25 = 1.2 . . . . miles
__
The equation tells you that Elena runs each mile in 8.5 minutes. To see how far she runs in 10 minutes, we can solve ...
10 = 8.5x
x = 10/8.5 ≈ 1.18 . . . . miles
So, Tyler runs farther in 10 minutes by a distance of ...
1.20 -1.18 = 0.02 . . . . miles
