The pitcher for the Robin's throws faster. You know this because you can multiply 112.2 by 60 seconds to equal one minute. You want to get equal minutes, so multiply the answer of 112.2 x 60(6,732) by 60 once again to equal one hour, or sixty minutes. The answer you get(403,920), you divide by 5280 since there are 5280 feet in one mile. You should see that the Bluebird's pitcher throws 76.5 mph which s slower than the Robin's.

Use the given information to write an equation, then solve it.
$1600 = (1 + 1 + 1/2)×(monthly rent) . . . . relationship given in the problem statement
$1600/2.5 = monthly rent = $640 . . . . divide by the coefficient of monthly rent
