Answer:
Rajeev walked at 3.5 miles per hour of speed
Explanation:
1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:
Distance Rajeev walked = 7/8 of a mile = 0.875 miles
Time of walking = 1/4 of an hour = 15 minutes
2. What was the speed in miles per hour?
Let's use the Direct Rule of Three for answering this question, as follows:
Distance in miles Time in minutes
0.875 15
x 60
*************************************************
15x = 0.875 * 60
15x = 52.5
x = 52.5/15
x = 3.5
Rajeev walked at 3.5 miles per hour of speed
