Answer 1

13/64 hope this helps

Answer 2

1 1/4 or 5/4 gallon per hour.

Explanation:

Fuel used in 2 1/4 hour = 2 13/16 gallon

Fuel used in 9/4 hour = 45 / 16 gallon

Fuel used in one hour =
`((45)/(16))/((9)/(4))`

= 5 / 4 gallon per hour = 1 1 /4 gallon per hour

Thus, teh fuel used in each hour is 1 1/4 gallon or 5 / 4 gallon.
