Although part of your question is missing, you might be referring to this full question: The graph shows the results of a race between Peter and Stuart. Both boys begin the race at the same time. Which statements are true about the race? Select each correct answer.

A. Stuart runs a longer race than Peter.

B. Stuart finishes the race 1 s after Peter finishes the race.

C. Stuart runs the race at a faster rate than Peter.

D. Peter is given a 40 yd head start and wins the race.

E. Stuart is given a 40 yd head start and loses the race.

F. Peter runs the race at an approximate rate of 4.6 yd/s.

As can be seen on the Graph attached:

  • Stuart completed 60 yards in 13 secs; and
  • Peter completed 100 yards in 12 secs.

So, the justification for each statement:

A. Stuart runs a longer race than Peter.

This statement is false, because Peter runs a longer race than Stuart. Peter > Stuart = 100 > 60.

B. Stuart finishes the race 1 s after Peter finishes the race

This statement is true, because Stuart finished the race in 13 secs and Peter finished the race in 12 secs. Peter – Stuart = 13 – 12 = 1. Thus, Stuart finishes the race 1 s after Peter finishes the race.

C. Stuart runs the race at a faster rate than Peter.

This statement is false, because Stuart’s speed = 60 / 13 = 4.62 yard/sec, while Peter’s speed = 100 / 12 = 8.33 yard/sec. Thus, Peter runs the race at a faster rate than Stuart.

D. Peter is given a 40 yd head start and wins the race.

This statement is false, because Peter wins the race but Peter is not given a 40 yd head start.

E. Stuart is given a 40 yd head start and loses the race.

This statement is true, because Stuart loses the race and Stuart is given a 40 yd head start.

F. Peter runs the race at an approximate rate of 4.6 yd/s.

This statement is false, because Stuart runs the race at an approximate rate of 4.6 yd/s, while Peter runs the race at an approximate rate of 8.3 yd/s.
