Talia swims about 1.5 miles per hour faster than Alina.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that in an hour there are 3600 seconds so

1.8 x 3600 = 6480

 6480 / 1609 = 4.02 miles / hr

  4.02 - 2.5 = 1.5( by substracting the speed)

so correct option is D which is

 Talia swims about 1.5 miles per hour faster than Alina
