Answer 2

Answer:

1   1/4 or 5/4 gallon per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Fuel used in 2 1/4 hour = 2  13/16 gallon

Fuel used in 9/4 hour = 45 / 16 gallon

Fuel used in one hour = $\frac{\frac{45}{16}}{\frac{9}{4}}$

                                     = 5 / 4 gallon per hour = 1  1 /4 gallon per hour

Thus, teh fuel used in each hour is 1  1/4 gallon or 5 / 4 gallon.
