Answer:

The number of miles/the number of hours

Explanation:

If the number of hours is not equal to 1, multiply the numerator and denominator by the inverse of the number of hours.

For example, 10 (miles)/2 (hours)

The inverse of 2 is 1/2, so --> the new equation is 10/2 * 1/2 / 1/2 or

10* 1/2 and 2 * 1/2

When multiplied out, this leads to 5/1 or 5 miles per hour

Answer:

I think the answer is B because 6*3 is 9 and so the bottom has to be 9. Option B's denominator is 9 so I think it is right.

Pls tell me if i am wrong! Thank you!
