    The rates are not equivalent. Jill's rate is higher.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We can find the unit rate in miles per minute for each and compare.

    Jack:

    24 miles in 30 min

    (24 miles) / (30 min) = 0.8 miles/min

    Jill:

    52 miles in 60 min

    (52 miles) / (60 min) = 0.866 ... miles/min

    The rates are not equivalent. Jill's rate is higher.
