For this case we propose a rule of three:


\frac {1} {4} foot ------------->
\frac {3} {4} hour

x -----------------------------------> 1 hour

Where "x" represents the amount of foot in one hour.


x = \frac {1 * \frac {1} {4}} {\frac {3} {4}}\\x = \frac {\frac {1} {4}} {\frac {3} {4}}\\x = \frac {4 * 1} {3 * 4}\\x = \frac {4} {12}\\x = \frac {1} {3}

So, we have
\frac {1} {3} foot every hour.

Answer:


\frac {1} {3}foot every hour
