1.) A butterfly can fly 82 feet in four seconds and a dragonfly can fly 50 feet in two seconds. Which can fly faster and by how much? * 1 point
The dragonfly is 4.5 feet per second faster.
The butterfly is 4.5 feet per second faster.
The dragonfly is 20.5 feet per second faster.
The butterfly is 32 feet per second faster.

The dragonfly is 20.5 feet per second faster

Step-by-step explanation:

- "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."
