Answer:

B

Explanation:

Okay, so we know they can run 1/4 a mile in 25 seconds. Now we want to know how far they can run in a minute ( 60 sec.). Because there is 25 seconds in 60 seconds 2.4 times, we multiply 1/4 by 2.4. We get 0.6. We know that there is 60 minutes in an hour, so we multiply 0.6 by 60. Now we know they can run 36 miles in an hour/ 36 miles per hour. So that eliminates C and D.

Anyways, B is correct because if you divide 1/4 by 25 you get 0.01. Multiply that by 60 to get a minute. (Because there is 60 seconds in a minute) Which is 0.6. Then multiply it again by 60 for an hour( because there is 60 minutes in an hour), and you get 36 hours.
