Speed is the rate at which a body changes its position. The speed by which Marina runs is 4 miles/ hr.

What is Speed?

Speed is the rate at which a body changes its position. It is given by the formula,

[tex]\rm{Speed = \dfrac{Distance}{Time}[/tex]

Given to us

Marina can bicycle 19. 5 miles at the same time it takes her to run 6 miles.

Marina bikes 9 miles per hour faster than she runs.

Let the speed of the Marina running be s, and the time is taken to run 6 miles be t.

Time is taken by Marina to cover a distance of 6 miles by running,

[tex]\rm t = \dfrac{6\ miles}{s}[/tex]

Since the speed of Marina's bicycle is 9 miles per hour faster than she runs. Time is taken by Marina to cover a distance of 19. 5 miles by bicycle,

[tex]\rm t = \dfrac{19.5\ miles}{s+9}[/tex]

We know that Marina can bicycle 19. 5 miles at the same time it takes her to run 6 miles. therefore,

[tex]\rm t = \dfrac{6\ miles}{s}= \dfrac{19.5\ miles}{s+9}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{6}{s}= \dfrac{19.5}{s+9}[/tex]

Solving the given equation we will get,

[tex]\rm s = 4\ miles/hr[/tex]

Hence, the speed by which Marina runs is 4 miles/ hr.
