375 times 26 = 9750
Check the picture below, so the hyperbola looks more or less like so, so let's find the length of the conjugate axis, or namely let's find the "b" component.

Answer: 0.3125 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for time taken to cover a distance is:
= Distance / Speed
Distance = 2.5 miles
Speed = 8 miles per hour
Time taken = 2.5 / 8
= 0.3125 hours
In minutes this is:
= 0.3125 * 60 mins
= 19 mins approx
216 ft per minute or 3.6 ft per second
515 divided by 216 is 2.38
it takes 2.38 minutes for the specified ant to crawl 515 feet
