Question

the table shows the total distance that myra runs over different time periods.

which describes myras distance as time increases?

increasing
decreasing
zero
constant

time and distance ran by myra

time (minutes)
0
2
4
6
8

distance (miles)
0.0
0.4
0.8
1.2
1.6

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the trend of distance values

As time (minutes) increases from \(0\) to \(2\) to \(4\) to \(6\) to \(8\), the distance (miles) values are \(0.0\), \(0.4\), \(0.8\), \(1.2\), \(1.6\).

Step2: Check the change in distance

We can see that \(0.4>0.0\), \(0.8 > 0.4\), \(1.2>0.8\), \(1.6>1.2\). The distance values are getting larger as time increases.

Answer:

increasing
