The correct option is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Claire and Elena are going on a road trip with their families. They plan to meet at Elena's house and then follow each other. Claire meets Elena at her house at 10 a.m. Elena is held up by chores and has to leave late, but Claire continues on.

The graph shown the total distance travelled by Claire and Elena.

We have to choose the correct option.

because Elena is held up by chores and has to leave late, but Claire continues on therefore as also shown in graph The distance covered by Claire prior to 10 a.m. was 120 miles more than the distance covered by Elena prior to 10 a.m.

and also both they plan to meet at Elena's house so Claire first came at Elena house and on the road before 10 a.m. Therefore, After leaving Elena's house, Claire was on the road two hours more than Elena.

Hence, Option C is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

when a number is between two straight lines it means the absolute value.

to find absolute value you need to know how many numbers is that number away from 0.

when finding absolute value the number will always come out positive

so absolute value of -3 is 3

absolute value of 3/2 is 3/2

absolute value of -2 is 2

absolute value of 3.5 is 3.5

absolute value of -1 is 1

now put these numbers in order:

a)   |-1|, |3/2|, |-2|, |-3|, |3.5|
