Answer:

V=\frac{s}{t},where\ 
V-speed,\ s-distance\ ,t-time\\\\
v=\frac{\frac{3}{8}}{\frac{3}{4}}=\frac{3}{8}*\frac{4}{3}=\frac{4}{8}=\\\\0,5\frac{feet}{minute}\\\\
Speed\ is\ equal\ to\ 0,5\frac{feet}{minute}.

V=(s)/(t),where\ V-speed,\ s-distance\ ,t-time\\\\ v=((3)/(8))/((3)/(4))=(3)/(8)*(4)/(3)=(4)/(8)=\\\\0,5(feet)/(minute)\\\\ Speed\ is\ equal\ to\ 0,5(feet)/(minute).
