Answer 2

The descriptions which could represent the graph is option B.

From the starting line, Romi ran 4 miles in 40 minutes, rested for 40 minutes, jogged back 1 mile toward the starting line in 20 minutes, rested for 20 minutes, and jogged the last 3 miles back to the starting line.

Which of the following descriptions could represent the graph?

On the graph which shows Romi's terrain race;

Time (in minutes) is on the x-axis (horizontal)

Distance (in miles) is on the y-axis (vertical)

Therefore, Romi ran 4 miles in 40 minutes, rested for 40 minutes, jogged back 1 mile toward the starting line in 20 minutes, rested for 20 minutes, and jogged the last 3 miles back to the starting line in 60 minutes.
