Final answer:
To determine the distances each student ran, we need to subtract their distances. The correct answer is b) Rowanda: 7.24 km, Terrance: 5.11 km.
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine how far each student ran, we need to subtract their distances. Given that Rowanda ran 2.13 kilometers more than Terrance, we can set up the equation: Rowanda's distance = Terrance's distance + 2.13 kilometers.
Let's go through each option to see which one satisfies this condition:
a) Rowanda: 4.5 km, Terrance: 2.47 km - Rowanda's distance is 4.5 km, which is not 2.13 km more than Terrance's distance of 2.47 km.
b) Rowanda: 7.24 km, Terrance: 5.11 km - Rowanda's distance is 7.24 km, which is indeed 2.13 km more than Terrance's distance of 5.11 km.
c) Rowanda: 3.51 km, Terrance: 1.48 km - Rowanda's distance is 3.51 km, which is not 2.13 km more than Terrance's distance of 1.48 km.
d) Rowanda: 6.5 km, Terrance: 4.37 km - Rowanda's distance is 6.5 km, which is not 2.13 km more than Terrance's distance of 4.37 km.
Therefore, the correct answer is b) Rowanda: 7.24 km, Terrance: 5.11 km.
