The answer is: [B]: 0.40 km/min .
_____________________________________________________
Step-by-step explanation:
__________________________________________________________
From the graph attached, which is "linear", we have 75 minutes (x-axis);
corresponding to 30 km (y-axis);
__________________________________________________________
We notice that all the answer choices are given in units of:
______________________________________________________
→ "km/min" ; that is, "kilometers per minute" ;
______________________________________________________
→ So, 30 km / 75 min = (30/75) km/ min = ? km / min ;
______________________________________________________
(30/75) = (30÷15) / (75÷15) = ⅖ km/min ; or 0.4 km/min ;
______________________________________________________
or; use calculator: (30/75) = (30÷75) = 0.4 km/min ;
______________________________________________________
which corresponds to:
______________________________________________________
Answer choice: [B]: 0.40 km/min .
