NEED HELP ASAP

Car A and Car B were in a race. The driver of Car B claimed that his car was twice as fast as Car A


Do you agree with this claim? Why or why not?


a.

Yes, because the bar for Car B is twice as tall as the bar for Car A.

b.

Yes, because the speed of Car B is twice that of Car A.

c.

No, because Car B was only 10 mi/hr faster than Car A.

d.

No, because the vertical scale exaggerates the differences in speed.

Answer 1

Option D. No, because the vertical scale exaggerates the differences in speed

Explanation:

we know that

Observing the graph

The speed of Car A is 171 mi/h

The speed of Car B is 172 mi/h

so

The speed of Car B is not twice that speed of Car A

The speed of Car B is only 1 mi/h faster than the speed of Car A

The vertical scale of the graph exaggerates the differences in speed
