he goes 4.5 miles per hour because you multiply 2 1/4 by two because he hiked in a half hour

Answer:

4.5 miles per hour.

Explanation:

To make the problem easier and better understand the data, we convert the fractions into decimals, so

2 1/4 miles = (2 + 0.25) thousands = 2.25 miles

1/2 hour = 0.5 hour

To answer we make a simple rule of three

2.25 miles --------------- 0.5 hour

X ----------------------------- 1 hour

X = 2.25 * 1 / 0.5 = 4.5 miles per hour.

I hope this helps!
