I

b. 1 miles per hour

mile per hour

d. 1 miles per hour

Answer 1

Answer as a mixed number = 1 1/8 mph

Answer as a decimal = 1.125 mph

Work Shown:

(3/4) of a mile : (2/3) of an hour

12*(3/4) of a mile : 12*(2/3) of an hour

9 miles : 8 hours

9/8 miles : 8/8 hours

1.125 miles : 1 hour

His speed is 1.125 miles per hour. This converts to the mixed number 1 1/8
