Answer: if one hiker walks faster than the other, their rate would be 9.68mph or 9.7mph if u round up and the rate of the other hiker that is walking slower is 4.4mph.

Explanation:

For the hiker walking 2.2mph


I did: 22 x 2.2 = 48.4/5 = 9.68

Rate = 9.68mph


For the other hiker

I did: 22/5= 4.4


rate = 4.4mph
