In an Olympic triathlon, athletes perform the following events:• swim 1.5 kilometers.bike 40 kilometers• run 10 kilometersWhich statement BEST represents a rate between the swimming, biking, or running parts of the triathlon?O A. Athletes bike kilometer for every kilometer they run.o B. Athletes bike 30 kilometers for every kilometer they run.C.Athletes swim320kilometer for every kilometer they run.O D. Athletes swim803kilometers for every kilometer they bike.

Answer 1

Data:

Swim: S

Bike: B

Run: R

S=1.5Km

B=40Km

R=10Km

Rate between B and R:

`(B)/(R)=(40)/(10)=4`

Athletes bike 4 Km for every km they run

Rate between S and R:

`(S)/(R)=(1.5)/(10)=(3)/(20)`

Athletes swim 3/20 km for every km they run

Rate between S and B:

`(S)/(B)=(1.5)/(40)=(3)/(80)`

Athletes swim 3/80 km for every km they bike

Then, the correct answer is: Athletes swim 3/20 km for every km they run
