consider the graph of miriams bike ride to answer the questions.

Explanation:

Step1: Convert rest time to hours

The horizontal segment (rest) is from 45 to 90 minutes. Calculate duration: $90 - 45 = 45$ minutes. Convert to hours: $\frac{45}{60} = 0.75$ hours.

Step2: Convert initial ride time to hours

The initial rise to 8 miles ends at 45 minutes. Convert to hours: $\frac{45}{60} = 0.75$ hours.

Answer:

How many hours did Miriam stop to rest? 0.75
