It would take 5 hours.

Using the equation d=rt, where d is the distance, r is the rate and t is the time, we have
7 = (7/5)t

Dividing both sides by 7/5, we have
7÷ 7/5 = t
7/1 ÷ 7/5 = t
7/1 × 5/7 = t
(7*5)/(1*7) = t
35/7 = t
5 = t

The speed of rabbit = 7/5 miles per hour

We can use speed equation,
speed = distance / time

by rearranging,
time = distance / speed
= 7 miles / (7/5) miles per hour
= 7 x (5/7)
= 5 hours

Hence the rabbit can move 7 miles in 5 hours.
