<span>As we know that in an hour there are 3600 seconds so
1.8 x 3600 = 6480
 6480 / 1609 = 4.02 miles / hr
   4.02 - 2.5 = 1.5( by substracting the speed)
so correct option is D which is

Answer: Option 'D' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Rate at which Alina swim = 2.5 miles per hour

Rate at which Talia swim = 1.8 meters per second

First we need to change meters per second into miles per hour

As we have given that

1\text{ miles}=1609\text{ meters}

and

1\text{ hour}=3600\text{ seconds}

So, to change into miles per hours, we'll apply this,

\frac{1.8\times 3600}{1609}\\\\=4.02\text{ miles per hour}

So,

Difference between their rates will be given by

4.02-2.5=1.52\text{ miles per hour}

Hence, Talia swims about 1.5 miles per hour faster than Alina.

So, Option 'D' is correct.

a motorboat travels 305km in 5 hours going upstream and 651km in 7 hours going downstream. What is the rate of the boat in still
Ghella [55]
Recall your d = rt, distance = rate * time.

b = speed rate of the boat.

c = speed rate of the current.


keeping in mind that, as the boat goes Upstream, against the current, it's speed is not "b", but is really " b - c ", because the current is subtracting speed from it.

likewise, when the boat is going Downstream, because is going with the current, is really going faster at " b + c ".

\bf \begin{array}{lccclll}&#10;&\stackrel{km}{distance}&\stackrel{kmh}{rate}&\stackrel{hours}{time}\\&#10;&------&------&------\\&#10;Upstream&305&b-c&5\\&#10;Downstream&651&b+c&7&#10;\end{array}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\begin{cases}&#10;305=(b-c)(5)\implies 61=b-c\implies 61+c=\boxed{b}\\&#10;651=(b+c)(7)\implies 93=b+c\\&#10;----------------------\\&#10;93=\boxed{61+c}+c&#10;\end{cases}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;93=61+2c\implies 32=2c\implies \cfrac{32}{2}=c\implies 16=c

what is the speed of the boat?  well, 61 + c = b.
