**In the forest, a tortoise, a hare, and a slug decide to compete in a** **10-mile race. The distances traveled throughout the race are plotted on the graph for each animal.**

It seems like you're referring to a graph that shows the progress of three animals (the tortoise, the hare, and the slug) over a 10-mile race. Unfortunately, I cannot see the graph unless it is uploaded. Could you upload the graph or describe it?

Here are some aspects to consider when analyzing a graph related to this scenario:
- **Speed**: Look for the slope of each animal's curve. A steeper slope indicates faster speed.
- **Resting periods**: If the curve flattens out, that animal stopped moving for some time.
- **Distance traveled over time**: Check which animal is ahead at various times to determine who is leading at each point.
- **Total time**: See which animal crosses the finish line (10 miles) first to determine the winner.

Feel free to upload the graph or describe it for further analysis!

Meanwhile, here are 5 questions you could explore based on this scenario:
1. How does the speed of the tortoise compare to the hare and slug over the race?
2. Are there any resting periods for the hare, tortoise, or slug?
3. Which animal maintains the most consistent speed throughout the race?
4. What is the average speed of each animal?
5. Can you determine who finishes the race first based on the graph?

**Tip**: In distance-time graphs, the steeper the line, the faster the movement. A flat line indicates no movement at all.

In the forest, a tortoise, a hare, and a slug decide to compete in a 10-mile race. The distances traveled throughout the race are plotted on the graph for each animal.

Explore the speed and movement patterns of a tortoise, hare, and slug in a 10-mile race by analyzing their distance-time graph. Learn how to calculate speed using the slope of the graph and identify key moments such as resting periods. Suitable for students in Grades 5-7.
