Respuesta :

Answer: 13.125 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The smaller moon of Mars, Deimos, has a diameter of 7.5 miles.

The larger moon, Phobos, has a diameter that is [tex]1\dfrac34[/tex] times greater.

Diameter of Phobos = [tex]1\dfrac34\times\text{(Diameter of Deimos )}[/tex]

[tex]=\dfrac{7}{4}\times7.5 \ \ \ [1\dfrac34 =\dfrac{7}{4}]\\\\=13.125\text{ miles}[/tex]

Hence, the  diameter of Phobos = 13.125 miles.
