Answer: Elena won the race.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you calculate it, Lin runs a mile every 9 minutes.

9 times 7.5 = 67.5 which is 1 hour, 7 minutes and 30 seconds. While it took only an hour for Elena to run 7.5 miles.

Which means Elena's speed was faster and got her to the finish line first.
