Answer 1

Answer:

1.5

Step-by-step explanation: 10:00 to 3:00 is 5 hours so if you take 7.5 divided by five you get 1.5

Answer 2

10am to 3pm is 5 hours, so Tameca will need to complete the 7.5 miles in 5 hours.

To find her hourly rate, simply divide 7.5 by 5.

Tameca needs to hike 1.5 miles per hour.

Hope this helps!!
