Answer 2

Answer: They hike 30 miles and 20 miles in 1 hour respectively and they hike 60 miles and 40 miles in 2 hours respectively.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of mile Jeff hikes in every 15 minutes =
`(1)/(2)`

As we know that

1 hour = 60 minutes

So, number of mile Jeff hikes in every 1 hour =
`(1)/(2)* 60=30\ miles`

number of miles Jeff hikes in every 2 hours =
`30* 2=60\ miles`

Number of miles Lisa hikes in every 10 minutes =
`(1)/(3)`

Number of miles Lisa hikes in every 1 hour =
`(1)/(3)* 60=20\ miles`

Number of miles Lisa hikes in every 2 hours =
`20* 2=40\ miles`

Hence, they hike 30 miles and 20 miles in 1 hour respectively and they hike 60 miles and 40 miles in 2 hours respectively.
