Question

Ethan rode his bicycle to his friend Sasha’s house, and then Ethan rode his bicycle to the library. The graph shows Ethan’s distance from Sasha’s house as a function of time. How many total miles did Ethan ride?

A) 12 miles
B) 20 miles
C) 24 miles
D) 40 miles

Answer 1

Ethan rode 8 miles from Sasha's house to the library.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ethan's distance from Sasha's house is shown on the graph as a function of time. To find the total miles Ethan rode, we need to determine the total distance between Sasha's house and the library.

From the graph, we can see that Ethan is 2 miles away from Sasha's house at time 0 and 10 miles away at time 10. This means Ethan rode 10 - 2 = 8 miles from Sasha's house to the library. Therefore, the total miles Ethan rode is 8 miles.
