Answer:

Courtnee's rate in miles per hour will be = 1.26 miles per hour

Explanation:

  • Courteen's running distance = 5/8 = 0.63 miles
  • Time taken by Courteen = 0.5 hour

Courtnee's rate in miles per hour can be calculated by dividing the number of miles i.e. 0.63 miles by the time taken i.e. 0.5 hours.

Therefore,

Courtnee's rate = 0.63 miles / 0.5 hour

= 1.26 miles per hour

Therefore,

Courtnee's rate in miles per hour will be = 1.26 miles per hour
