• Choice C

    Find the time each person takes to walk 34\frac{3}{4} mile, 35\frac{3}{5} mile, and 36\frac{3}{6} mile at the same speed. Actually, the problem states each person walks a certain distance at a rate of 1 mile per hour:

    • Joe: 34\frac{3}{4} mile at 1 mph \Rightarrow 34\frac{3}{4} hr =45= 45 min
    • Tom: 35\frac{3}{5} mile at 1 mph \Rightarrow 35\frac{3}{5} hr =36= 36 min
    • Alexis: 36\frac{3}{6} mile at 1 mph \Rightarrow 12\frac{1}{2} hr =30= 30 min

    Total time:

    45+36+30=111 min=1 hour 51 minutes45 + 36 + 30 = 111 \text{ min} = 1 \text{ hour } 51 \text{ minutes}
