To find out how far Grace ran in 1.5 hours, we can set up a proportion using the given information.
Let's set up the proportion using the distance and time:
Distance/Time = Distance/Time
We know that the distance Grace ran in 4 hours is 26 miles. Let's replace the distance and time in the proportion:
26 miles/4 hours = x miles/1.5 hours
To find x, we can cross-multiply the proportion:
4 hours * x miles = 26 miles * 1.5 hours
4x = 39 miles-hours
To isolate x, we divide both sides of the equation by 4:
x = 39 miles-hours / 4
Simplifying the expression on the right side, we get:
x = 9.75 miles
Therefore, Grace ran 9.75 miles in 1.5 hours.
