we have that
 1 1/2 acres-------------> 1.5 acres
one hour----------------> 60 minutes

Step 1
I proceed to make a rule of three
if Jami can now mow 1/6 acre -----------------------> in 8 minutes
1.5 acres----------------------------------------------> X
X=1.5*8/(1/6)=72 minutes

72 minutes > 60 minutes

therefore
Jami can not mow 1 1/2 acres in an hour
The time required by jami to mow 1 1/2 acres is 72 minutes
