Tyler and Elena are on the cross country team. Tyler's distances and times for a training run are shown on the graph.

Elena’s distances and times for a training run are given by the equation y=8.5x, where x represents the distance in miles and y represents time in minutes.

Who ran farther in 10 minutes?

Calculate each runner's pace in minutes per mile.

Who ran faster during the training run?

Tyler ran 0.06 miles farther than Elena

Step-by-step explanation:

From the graph we can find the distance ran by Tyler in 10 minutes is approximately 1.24 miles

Given the equation for Elena's distances and times is

y=8.5x, where x is the distance in miles and y is the time in minutes, we can know the value of x when y = 10 minutes

miles

With this numbers at hand, we can infer Tyler ran 1.24 - 1.18 = 0.06 miles farther than Elena
