Mrs. Afonso is competing in a race in which she both runs and rides a bike. She runs 5 kilometers in 0.5 hours and rides her bike 20 kilometers in 0.8 hours. At the rate given, how many kilometers can she run in one hour?

Step-by-step explanation:

If Mrs. Alfonso runs 5 km in 0.5 hours,

she will run 10 km in an hour

- "runner b is moving at a slower rate."

- "the graphs shown are graphs of distance(km) against time(min).

the slopes of this graphs are are given by:

slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

= (change in distance)/(change in time)

this is the formula for finding the speed. so, the slope of these graphs represent the speed of the runner.

taking each division in the graph to represent 1 on both axis:

runner a ⇒ speed = (2-0)/(1-0)

= 2/1

= 2 km/min

runner b ⇒ speed = (3-0)/(3-0)

= 3/3

= 1 km/min

this shows that   runner b is moving at a slower rate."
