To determine how Myra's distance changes over time, we can analyze the given data table. Let's look at the progression of distance as time increases:
[tex]\[
\begin{array}{|c|c|}
\hline
\text{Time (minutes)} & \text{Distance ran (miles)} \\
\hline
0 & 0.0 \\
\hline
2 & 0.4 \\
\hline
4 & 0.8 \\
\hline
6 & 1.2 \\
\hline
8 & 1.6 \\
\hline
\end{array}
\][/tex]
### Analysis of the Changes in Distance
1. At time 0 minutes: The distance is 0.0 miles.
2. At time 2 minutes: The distance is 0.4 miles.
3. At time 4 minutes: The distance is 0.8 miles.
4. At time 6 minutes: The distance is 1.2 miles.
5. At time 8 minutes: The distance is 1.6 miles.
### Step-by-Step Analysis
- From 0 minutes to 2 minutes, the distance increased from 0.0 to 0.4 miles.
- From 2 minutes to 4 minutes, the distance increased from 0.4 to 0.8 miles.
- From 4 minutes to 6 minutes, the distance increased from 0.8 to 1.2 miles.
- From 6 minutes to 8 minutes, the distance increased from 1.2 to 1.6 miles.
### Conclusion
1. Increasing: We observe that the distance increases steadily as time progresses. The distance covered increases in regular intervals, suggesting that Myra's distance is increasing over time.
2. Constant: The distances are not the same at different points in time; hence, the distance is not constant.
3. Zero: The distance covered is not zero at all times; hence, the distance is not zero.
Thus, the correct description of Myra's distance as time increases is:
Increasing
