Answer:
2.5 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
The relation between time, speed, and distance is ...
distance = speed × time
We can define t to be Stanley's swimming time. Then t+0.5 was his running time, and 2(t+0.5) was his biking time. His total distance covered is ...
64 = 9(t +0.5) +16(2(t +0.5)) +2.5(t)
64 = 43.5t +20.5 . . . . . . . simplify
43.5 = 43.5t . . . . . . . . . subtract 20.5
t = 1 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of t
Stanley swam for 1 hour, so the distance he covered while swimming was ...
(2.5 mi/h)(1 h) = 2.5 mi
Stanley covered 2.5 miles while swimming.
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
Stanley ran for 1.5 hours, covering 9×1.5 = 13.5 miles. He biked for 3 hours, covering 16×3 = 48 miles. His total distance was 2.5 +13.5 +48 = 64 miles, as given.

The total amount of her purchase before tax was added is; $52.46
<h3>How to calculate discounted amount?</h3>
We are told that the percentage sales tax she paid on her purchase was 8.75% which translated to an amount of $4.59.
Now, let the amount of her purchase be x. Thus;
8.75% * x = $4.59
x = 4.59 * 100/8.75
x ≈ $52.46

She’ll work 6 hours moving lawns which will give her $48.
then she’ll work 4 hours babysitting which will give her $48.
$48+$48=$96.
it’ll be a total of 10 hours that week.
