Could you please retake your picture it is blurry
For this case we have the following apple picking options, in dozens:
<em>Tyler:</em>
Tyler picked up a dozen.
<em>Olivia:</em>
Olivia collected 0.833 dozen apples.
<em>Samantha:</em>
Samantha collected 0.667 dozens of apples.
Thus, it is observed that Samantha collected the least amount of apples.

I'm going to assume that you are trying to find the two numbers. Based on the information in the problem, we can create the following equations (where 
and 
are the two numbers):
We have a systems of equations. In this case, it would be easier to use elimination by adding vertically. This produces the result:
To find , substitute the value for into one of the earlier equations:
The two numbers are 12 and 18.
Formula
====
d = r * t

======
d = 2 3/4
t = 1 hour 15 minutes
r = ????
Calculations
==========
You need to convert the 15 minutes to hours.
1 hour = 60 minutes
x hour = 15 minutes
1/60 = x/15
x = 15/60
x = 0.25 hours
so the time = 1 hours + 0.25 hours
t = 1.25 hours
Now you need to do something with the distance.
3/4 mile = 0.75 of a mile
So the distance = 2 + 0.75 = 2.75 miles
Now you are ready for the answer.
d = r * t you are looking for r
2.75 = r * 1.25
r = 2.75/1.25
r = 2.2 miles / hour
Note you could do this with fractions.
2 3/4 = 11/4
1 1/4 = 5/4
r = 11/4 // 5/4 =11/5 = 2 1/5 which is the same thing as 2.2. If your calculator can handle fractions (those kind of calculators cost about 10 dollars in Canada. It should be 8 in the US) that might be the way to do this problem.
