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
Well you need first 1 2/4 of a yard. Then you will need 5/6 of a yard. But first you need to put them together. So we need to find the common denominator. Six and four both share which multiple? Twelve. So let's rewrite that. You need 1 6/12 yards + 10/12 yards of wrapping paper. But before we do anything else we need to fix the mixed number. 1 6/12 isn't as easy to add ad 18/12 is. So 18/12 + 10/12 = 28/12
That can simplify as well. Now it's 14/6 which is equivalent to the fraction we had before. But it can also go down to 2 2/6. Now we can simplify it even further. By dividing it by two we can get 2 1/3. These are the measurements we need. So you would need how many thirds? Seven. (2 1/3 is seven thirds) This is your final answer.
You would need to have seven peices of wrapping paper cut to wrap both gift boxes.
