Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

distance = rate * time

rate = distance / time

= 2/3 mile divided by 1/2 hour

= 2/3 * 2/1 = 4/3 mph = 1 and 1/3 mph

His speed is 4/3 mph = 1 and 1/3 mph = 1.3 mph

So

1 mile = (4/3 mph) * TIME

Solving for Time T, it will take him t = 3/4 <--- the RECIPROCAL

and 3/4 hour = 45 minutes

Jack walks 1 mile in 45 minutes = 3/4 hour
