Answer:

Yellow troop will complete the hike faster than blue troop

Blue troop hikes 1.33 miles in 1 hour

Yellow troop hikes 2.25 miles in 1 hour

Missing portion:

Since the final statement is missing, so we will find how much distance can the troops travels in 1 hour and which troop can complete the hike faster.

Explanation:

As given in the statement:

Blue troops travels
(2)/(3) miles ever
(1)/(2) hour:


(1)/(2) hr =
(2)/(3) miles

1 hr =
((2)2)/(3)

1 hr=
(4)/(3) miles = 1.33 miles

Blue troop hikes 1.33 miles in 1 hour

Yellow troops travels
(3)/(4) miles ever
(1)/(3) hour:


(1)/(3) hr=
(3)/(4) miles

1 hr =
((3) 3)/(4) miles

1 hr =
(9)/(4) miles =2.25 miles

Yellow troop hikes 2.25 miles in 1 hour

Yellow troop will complete the hike faster than blue troop
