Answer 1

Basically 8mph but exactly 7.4303mph

Answer 2

7.38 miles per hour

Explanation:

Ms Morton can run 2 miles in 16 minutes and 15 seconds.

16 minutes 15 seconds = 16.25 minutes

Since Ms Morton runs in 16.25 minutes = 2 miles

Therefore, she can run in 1 minutes =
`(2)/(16.25)`

she can run in 60 minutes =
`(2)/(16.25)* 60`

= 7.3846 ≈ 7.38 miles per hour.

She can run 7.38 miles per hour.
