Answer :

ThePr0

Answer:

C.

I think because in 1 hour (60 min) she flew 8 miles + 0.25 of an hour (15 min) 8 / 4 = 2

2 miles per 20 min

take the 1 hour which is 8 miles

then the 15 min

1.25

     1.25

  + 8.00

     9.25

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

If she is going at 8 MPH the whole time and she traveled for 1.25 hours

8 MPH means 8 miles in 1 hour so

1 Hour = 8 Miles

0.25 Hours = 2 Miles

0.25 is 1/4 of 1 which means its 4 times smaller and 8 divided by 4 = 2

8+2=10

The answer is D. 10
