Answer: 7.5

Step-by-step explanation: So first you have to divide 12 by 1.5 to see how log it takes him to run 1 mile, you get 8 which means he can run 1 mile in 8 minutes

You then divide 60 by 8 because you need to see how many miles he can run in that hour, with him running 1 mile in 8 minutes and you get 7.5 which is your answer

If you need any further instruction or help let me know!
