Answer:
Talia swims about 1.52 miles per hour faster than Alina.
Step-by-step explanation:
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.
First we will change meters per second into miles per hour.
1 mile= 1609.34 meters
1 hour = 3600 seconds
So, 1.8 meters per second will be = [tex]\frac{1.8*3600}{1609.34}[/tex]
= 4.02 miles per hour.
Now, the difference between their rates is = [tex]4.02-2.5=1.52[/tex] miles per hour.
Therefore, Talia swims about 1.52 miles per hour faster than Alina.
