Question

Legend hiked 3/8 mile in 1/4 hour. How fast did he hike, in miles per hour?

Answer 1

Given that Legend hiked 3/8 mile in 1/4 hour.

We have to find the speed of the hiker in miles per hour.

`\begin{gathered} (1)/(4)\text{ hour}=(3)/(8)\text{ mile} \\ 4*(1)/(4)\text{ hour}=4*(3)/(8)\text{miles} \\ 1\text{ hour}=(3)/(2)\text{ miles} \end{gathered}`

Thus, the speed of the hiker is 3/2 miles per hour.
