1. Answer:

   1 : 8

   Step-by-step explanation:

   A walks 7 1/2 miles in 2 hours

   ∴ A walks 15/2 miles in 2 hours

   ∴ in 1 hour A will walk 15/4 miles

   ∴ Speed of A = 15/4 mph

   B walks 1/2 mile in 1 minute

   ∴ In 60 minutes ( 1 hour) B will walk 1/2 × 60 = 30 miles

   ∴ Speed of B = 30 mph

   Ratio between their speeds​

   Speed of A = 15/4 = 15/(4×30) = 1/8 or 1 : 8

   Speed of B 30
