Answer:

1 1/3 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

1/3 is for a half-mile, so double it to 2/3 for one mile.

Now double it again for two hours.

2/3 + 2/3 = 1 1/3 miles in two hours

rate = 260 people per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

change minutes to hours

15 minute* 1 hr/60 minutes = .25 hrs

65 people x people

--------------- = ------------------

.25 hrs 2 hrs

using cross products

65 * 2 = .25 * x

130 = .25x

divide by .25

130/.25 = .25x/.25

520 =x

520 people

65 people x people

--------------- = ------------------

.25 hrs 1 hrs

using cross products

65 = .25x

divide by .25

65/.25 = .25x/.25

260 =x

260 people in 1 hour
