Answer:

1/16 of a mile in one minute.

Explanation:

1. you know that 3/4 mile = 12 mins and x mile = 1 min

2. To get 12 mins to 1 you divide the mins by 12

3. So you do the same for miles!

4. 3/4 miles divided by 12

5. which turns into 3/4 * 1/12

6. so your final answer would be 1/16 of a mile in one minute
