Explanation:

Given : Oscar rides his skateboard 5/8 mile in 1/4 hour.

To find : How fast, in miles per hour, does he ride his skateboard?

Solution :

We have given that,

Oscar rides his skateboard 5/8 mile in 1/4 hour.

i.e. The distance covered by Oscar in
`(1)/(4)` hour =
`(5)/(8)` miles.

So, The distance covered by Oscar in 1 hour is

`=((5)/(8))/((1)/(4))` miles per hour

`=(5* 4)/(8)` miles per hour

`=(5)/(2)` miles per hour.

Therefore, Oscar speed is 2.5 miles per hour.
