Answer:

  1. 3.9 hours
  2. 90 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>1.</h3>

The sum of the rates of painting, in fences per hour, is ...

  1/9 + 1/7 = (9+7)/63 . . . . fences per hour

The total rate in hours per fence is the inverse of that:

  63/16 = 3 15/16 ≈ 3.9 . . . hours to paint the fence

__

<h3>2.</h3>

The relevant relationship is ...

  distance = speed × time

Let t represent Tom's speed in miles per hour. Then George's speed is (t-36). They both have traveled the same total distance at the point where Tom catches up.

  (2+3)(t-36) = 3t

  2t = 180 . . . . . . . add 180-3t

  t = 90 . . . . . . divide by 2

Tom's average speed is 90 miles per hour.
