26.5 miles in 4 hours is stating 26.5 miles per 4 miles.
To find out how far it is in one mile, you can either make a proportion or divide 26.5 miles per mile by 4.
Division:

(26.5)/(4)/ (4)/(4)

(26.5)/(4)=6.625

(4)/(4)=1
26.5 miles per 4 hours = 6.625 mph
Proportions:

(26.5)/(4)= (x)/(1)

26.5=4x

6.625=x
In one hour, Ashleigh traveled 6.625 miles in 1 hour.

The answer I will give is 6.625. I just divide 4 by 26.5.
