Question

Three fourths of a mile in two thirds of an hour what is his hiking speed per hour

Answer 1

So,

The rate is 3/4 miles per 2/3 hour.

To find the rate per hour, we need to multiply 3/4 by the reciprocal of 2/3, which is 3/2.

`(3)/(4) * (3)/(2) = (9)/(8)`

That can also be written as 1.125 mph.
