Answer 1

To find out how far Grace ran in 1.5 hours, we can set up a proportion:

26 miles / 4 hours = x miles / 1.5 hours

Now, we can solve for x by cross-multiplying:

4 hours * x miles = 26 miles * 1.5 hours

4x = 39 miles

Dividing both sides by 4, we get:

x = 9.75 miles

Therefore, Grace ran 9.75 miles in 1.5 hours.
