To find the distance Grace ran in 1.5 hours, we can use the formula:
Distance = (Time * Total Distance) / Total Time
Plugging in the given values:
Distance = (1.5 hours * 26 miles) / 4 hours
Distance = 39 miles / 4 hours
Distance = 9.75 miles
Therefore, Grace ran 9.75 miles in 1.5 hours.
Yes, if she ran at constant speed.
Yes, assuming Grace ran at a constant speed throughout the entire marathon, she would have run 9.75 miles in 1.5 hours.
To find out how far Grace ran in 1.5 hours, we can use the concept of proportion. We know that Grace ran 26 miles in 4 hours.
Using the formula:
(distance 1 / time 1) = (distance 2 / time 2)
Let's substitute the values:
(26 miles / 4 hours) = (distance 2 / 1.5 hours)
Now, we can solve for distance 2:
(distance 2) = (26 miles / 4 hours) * 1.5 hours
Calculating this, we have:
(distance 2) = 6.5 miles
Therefore, Grace ran 6.5 miles in 1.5 hours.
