Answer 1

To find out how far Grace ran in 1.5 hours, we first need to determine her running speed.

Grace ran 26 miles in 4 hours. We can calculate her speed using the formula:

\[
\text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}} = \frac{26 \text{ miles}}{4 \text{ hours}} = 6.5 \text{ miles per hour}
\]

Now, we can calculate how far she would run in 1.5 hours by multiplying her speed by the time:

\[
\text{Distance in 1.5 hours} = \text{Speed} \times \text{Time} = 6.5 \text{ miles per hour} \times 1.5 \text{ hours} = 9.75 \text{ miles}
\]

Therefore, Grace ran **9.75 miles** in 1.5 hours.
