Answer:

Read the explanation, hope it helps. <3

Explanation:

Have you ever heard of D=rt? Basically, D stands for distance, r stands for rate, and t stands for time. So the problem would first look like this:

7.35=rt

7.35 is the distance, the rate is what you're looking for, and the time is the minutes between 8:40 to 10:25. The time between that would be 105 minutes. So now the problem will be:

7.35=r(105)

So now, all you gotta do is divide 105 by 7.35, and you got your answer. Now, I won't tell you the answer, that's yours to figure out, but here's the head start.
