Answer:

3.2 mph

Explanation:

If it takes her 3 hours to walk 9.6 miles, we need to divide 9.6 by 3.

To do so, we can remove the decimal point in 9.6, to give us 96.

Then, we can divide 96 by 3 to get 32.

Add the decimal back to 32.

Doing so would give us 3.2, and our answer.

We can check this answer by multiplying 3.2 by 3, which gives us 9.6, telling us our answer is correct.
