A track runner ran for 15 minutes, walked for 15 minutes, ran for another 20 minutes, and then stretched in place for 10 minutes.

pls hurry

Which graph describes the relationship between runner's total distance and time?


graph with the x axis labeled time in hours and the y axis labeled total distance in miles, with a line segment from 0 comma 0 to 0.25 comma 1.25, a horizontal line segment from 0.25 comma 1.25 to 0.5 comma 1.25, a line segment from 0.5 comma 1.25 to 0.8 comma 2.4, and a horizontal line segment from 0.8 comma 2.4 to 1 comma 2.4

graph with the x axis labeled time in hours and the y axis labeled total distance in miles, with a line segment from 0 comma 0 to 0.25 comma 1.25, a line segment from 0.25 comma 1.25 to 0.5 comma 1.75, a line segment from 0.5 comma 1.75 to 0.8 comma 2.95, and a horizontal line segment from 0.8 comma 2.95 to 1 comma 2.95

Answer:

graph B

Explanation:

You want the graph describing a run, walk, run, stretch-in-place exercise plotted as distance versus time.

Run, Walk

The given scenario will have a graph with three line segments having positive slope, with the middle of the three having a smaller slope. These will be followed by a horizontal segment showing no additional distance is covered during the stretching period.

The graph will match that in the attachment. It is described by the second choice.

__

Additional comment

Distance increases with time during running and walking. It increases faster during the running periods. When distance is not increasing, it indicates the runner is stopped.
