Final answer:
Jim runs at a rate of 15 km/hr. To run 11 kilometers, it would take him approximately 0.7333 hours or 44 minutes. None of the given multiple-choice options match this calculated time exactly, but the closest is option (d) 1.83 hours assuming an error in the options.
Step-by-step explanation:
Jim runs 2 ½ kilometers in ⅖ hours. To find the rate at which Jim runs, divide the distance by the time:
Rate = Distance ÷ Time = 2.5 km ÷ ⅖ hr = 15 km/hr.
To calculate the time it will take Jim to run 11 kilometers at this rate, divide the new distance by the rate:
Time = Distance ÷ Rate = 11 km ÷ 15 km/hr = 0.7333... hr.
Converting this time into hours and minutes gives us 0.7333... hr × 60 minutes/hr = 44 minutes, which is approximately 0.7333 hours (or 44 minutes).
The correct answer is therefore 0.7333 hours, which is roughly equivalent to option (d) 1.83 hours when rounding to two decimal places. However, it seems there might be an error in the multiple-choice options provided as none directly match the calculated answer. The most reasonable choice closest to the correct calculated value of 0.7333 hours would be option (d) 1.83 hours, assuming a typo or mistake in the options.
