Answer: 75 minutes per hour.

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Marion is driving between two towns that are close together and that she drives 1/5 the distance of the trip in 15 minutes.

The rate per hour will then be:

= 15 ÷ 1/5

= 15 × 5

= 75 minutes

The rate per hour will then be 75 minutes per hour.
