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. which statement comparing the two swimmers is accurate?

Remark

Without being given choices, we can get answers but they may not be listed among your. The important think is to be working in the same units

Convert miles/hour to m/sec

Now just multiply all the numerators together and divide by all the denominators.

Numerators: 2.5 * 1.6 * 1000 = 4000

Denominators: 3600

numerator/denominator = 4000/3600 m/s = 1.111 m/s

Conclusion

Talia is a much faster swimmer than Alina because 1.8 is greater than 1.11. Both numbers are in m/s.

2.5 miles / hour = 1.
