Final answer:
To determine who will win the race between Jacob and Michael, we need to compare their rates. Jacob can run 1.5 miles in 15 minutes, and Michael can run 1.5 miles in 0.375 hours. As both can run the same distance in the same time, they will finish at the same time.
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine who will win the race, we need to compare the rates at which Jacob and Michael can run. First, let's convert Jacob's rate from yards to miles. Since there are 1,760 yards in a mile, Jacob can run 2,652 yards in 15 minutes, which is equivalent to 1.5 miles in 15 minutes.
Next, let's convert Michael's rate from feet to miles. Since there are 5,280 feet in a mile, Michael can run 7,920 feet in 0.375 hours, which is equivalent to 1.5 miles in 0.375 hours.
Both Jacob and Michael can run 1.5 miles in the same amount of time, so they will finish the race at the same time. Therefore, the answer is c) They will finish at the same time.
