Answer:
1.875 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
easier way
2 miles in 3/4 hours
so
2 miles / .75 hours = 5 miles / x hours
solve for x
(5*.75)/2 = x
x=1.875
or
harder way
you could turn hours into minutes
2 miles in 45 mins
so
2 miles / 45 mins = 5 miles / x mins
solve for x
(5*45)/2 = x
x= 112.5 mins
but they want answer in hours so turn mins into hours by diving by 60
112.5/60 = 1.875 hours
