The time taken for landscaper 1 is 5.4 hours.

The time taken for landscaper 2 is 3.6 hours.

Step-by-step explanation

Let the time taken by the landscaper 1 to complete the job be 'a'

Let the time taken by the landscaper 2 to complete the job be 'a/1.5'

a + (a/1.5) = 9

(1.5a + a) /1.5 = 9

2.5a/1.5 = 9

5a/ 3 = 9

a = 27/5

a = 5.4 hours

a/1.5 = 5.4/1.5

a/1.5 = 3.6 hours

The time taken for landscaper 1 is 5.4 hours.

The time taken for landscaper 2 is 3.6 hours.

2 and 1/4 miles is how far Mary walks around the track. This is because she walks for 15 minutes before Jerry gets there, which is 0.75 miles at 3mph. Then Jerry goes for 2 miles, which is half an hour. Half an hour is double 15 minutes, so it's double 0.75 miles. So 0.75 plus 1.5 = 2.25 Mark me brainliest :3
