Given:
a.) Ishi walked a total of 2 1/2 miles on a treadmill.
b.) He walked at a constant rate of 4 miles per hour.
For us to be able to determine how long, in minutes, Ishi walked on the treadmill, we will be using the following formula:
![\text{ Total distance Ishi walked }/\text{ Constant rate x Equivalent in minutes}](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/ac6osh631u7y4bhux4hz77c27ubcb7rk3p.png)
We get,
![\text{ 2 }(1)/(2)\text{miles }/\text{ 4 }\frac{\text{miles}}{\text{ hour}}\text{ x }\frac{\text{ 60 minutes}}{1\text{ hour}}](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/m8gi33l7h28wsdgh2nupus8pl1s06szv2k.png)
Therefore, the answer is letter B.
