which statements are true? select all that apply.
joe jogged farther today than he did yesterday.

joe jogged for 35 minutes on both days.
joe stopped for a period of time on both days.
joe jogged 2 miles in the first 20 minutes yesterday.

Explanation:

Step1: Check total distance each day

Yesterday’s max distance < 3 miles; today’s max = 3 miles.

Step2: Compare first 15 mins speed

Yesterday: distance at 15 mins = 1 mile; today: distance at 15 mins >1 mile. Speed = distance/time, so today faster.

Step3: Check total time each day

Both graphs end at t=35 mins.

Step4: Check if stopped both days

Yesterday: flat segment (stopped); today: no flat segment (no stop).

Step5: Check first 20 mins yesterday

Yesterday: distance at 20 mins =1 mile ≠2 miles.

Answer:

Joe jogged farther today than he did yesterday., Joe jogged faster in the first 15 minutes today than in the first 15 minutes yesterday., Joe jogged for 35 minutes on both days.
