Alina is able to swim at a rate of about 2.5 miles per hour. Talia is able to swim at a rate of 1.8 meters per second. Which statement comparing the two swimmers is accurate? 1 mile 1,609 meters Alina swims about 0.7 miles per hour faster than Talia. Talia swims about 0.7 miles per hour faster than Alina. Alina swims about 1.5 miles per hour faster than Talia. Talia swims about 1.5 miles per hour faster than Alina.

  Given:
Alina= 2.5mi/hr
Talia= 1.8m/s
1mi=1,609m

As the options given are expressed in mi/hr then Convert Talias speed into mi/hr
Take note that 1hr = 3,600s
Talia:
 = 1.8 \frac{m}{s} ( \frac{1mi}{1609m} )( \frac{3600s}{1hr} ) \\  = 4.03 \frac{mi}{hr}

Get the difference of Talias speed and Alinas
Talia-Alina
4.03mi/hr-2.5mi/hr = 1.53mi/hr or approx 1.5 mi/hr

Therefore Talia swims about 1.5mi/hr faster than Alina
