Answer:

40.625 miles covered in 2.5 hours

Explanation:

Given that
16 (1)/(4)

miles was ran in one hour, then to find miles run in 2.5 hours, we just have to multiply:


16 (1)/(4)

by
2 (1)/(2)

This means that miles run in 2½ hours


= 16 (1)/(4) * 2 (1)/(2)


= (65)/(4) * (5)/(2)


= (325)/(8)


= 40 (5)/(8) = 40.625

Therefore 40.625 miles will be run in 2.5 hours.
