Answer 1

Option B is correct.

Walking rate = 2 (2/3) miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation

To answer this, we need to first note that

1 hour = 60 minutes

So, we have

`\begin{gathered} \frac{(2)/(3)\text{mile}}{15\text{ minutes}}*\frac{60\text{ minutes}}{1\text{ hour}} \\ =(2)/(3)*4 \\ =(8)/(3) \\ =2(2)/(3)\text{ miles per hour} \end{gathered}`

Hope this Helps!!!
