Question

What’s the answer hurry

Answer 1

Answer:

Choice C: Lauren is faster than Kevin, slower than Jeremy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, so it directly says that Jeremy is going at y=12x, or 12 miles per hour. To find how fast Kevin is riding, take two points of the table and use the slope formula to get the speed(.

Slope Formula: (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)

So lets take the table plots (2, 22) and (4, 33) to do this.

(y2-y1) / (x2-x1)

(33-22) / (4-2)

(11) / (2)

The speed of Kevin is 5.5 miles by hour.

Then, it asks for how fast Lauren is going, saying she is twice as fast as Kevin. Therefore, simply do:

5.5 * 2 = 11 miles per hour

To get the third biker's speed.

Now, with all of the speeds of the bikers, we can now compare them. Here's a listing of their speeds to make things easier to compare:

Jeremy: 12 mph

Kevin: 5.5 mph

Lauren: 11 mph

From this, we can see that Lauren is the second fastest. She is slower than Jeremy but faster than Kevin. Therefore, the correct answer choice is C.
