Answer:

Meg cover
(1)/(2) of a mile by skateboard in an hour.

Explanation:

Given: Meg skateboards
(1)/(4) of a mile in
(1)/(2) of an hour.

We have to find how much distance she covered by skateboard in an hour.

Unitary method is a method in which we first find the value of a unit and then multiply the desired quantity with unit value.

Distance covered by Meg in
(1)/(2) hour =
(1)/(4) of a miles.

so, distance covered in 1 hour is =
(1)/(4)* 2=(1)/(2) of a mile.

Thus, Meg cover
(1)/(2) of a mile by skateboard in an hour.
