PLEASE HELP

Both Alex and Chris left their homes at 7:00 a.m. and walked to school. The graph shows the distances that each boy was from school as they walked. Which statement is best supported by the graph?


Alex lives farther from the school than Chris lives, and Alex walked to school at a faster rate than Chris walked.
Alex lives closer to the school than Chris lives, and Alex walked to school at a faster rate than Chris walked.
Chris lives farther from the school than Alex lives, and Chris walked to school at a faster rate than Alex walked.
Chris lives closer to the school than Alex lives, and Chris walked to school at a faster rate than Alex walked

Answer 1

Chris lives farther from the school than Alex lives, and Chris walked to school at a faster rate than Alex walked.

Answer 2

Chris lives farther from school than Alex lives, and Chris walks to school at a faster rate than Alex

Explanation:

Chris walked 4 miles.

Alex walked 2.

Alex takes 25 minutes to walk one mile. (50÷2) and Chris takes 15 minutes to walk one mile (60÷4), meaning Chris walks at a faster rate although he lives farther away.
