Answer:

Explanation:

To find how far Jemma can walk in 2 1/4 hours, we need to multiply her walking speed by the time she walks:

Distance walked = Speed x Time

Jemma can walk 5 1/2 km each hour, which is the same as 11/2 km/hour.

The time she walks is 2 1/4 hours, which can be written as 9/4 hours.

So,

Distance walked = (11/2) km/hour x (9/4) hours

Distance walked = 99/8 km

Distance walked = 12 3/8 km

Therefore, Jemma can walk approximately 12 3/8 km in 2 1/4 hours.
