Given data

Alisha jogged distance is s = 6¾ miles

Time taken by the Alisha for jogging is t = 1½ hours

The formula for Alisha's jogging rate is given as

$r=\frac{s}{t}$

Substitute the values in the above expression as

$r=\frac{6\frac{3}{4}}{1\frac{1}{2}}=4\frac{1}{2}$

Thus, Alisha's jogging rate is 4½ miles per hour​ and the correct answer is (D)
