Answer:
2(2)/(3)\text{ miles per hour}

Explanation:

Jeremy can row
(2)/(3) of a mile in
(1)/(4) of an hour.

The formula for unit rate (in miles per hour) is given by :-


\text{Unit rate}=\frac{\text{Distance in miles}}{\text{Time}}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{Unit rate}=((2)/(3))/((1)/(4))

i.e.
\text{Unit rate}=(2)/(3)*(4)/(1)\\\\=(8)/(3)=2(2)/(3)\text{ miles per hour}

Hence, the unit rate =
2(2)/(3)\text{ miles per hour}
