Hello!

Answer:


\Large \boxed{\sf 3 ~miles}

Explanation:

→ We want how many miles can he walk in one hour.

→ We know that Marshall walks 2 miles in 2/3 of an hour.

→ We know that 2/3 hour is equal to 40 minutes.

→ So, we have this table:

Distance (miles) 2 x

Time (minutes) 40 60

→ To solve x, let's apply the method of the cross:


\sf x = 2 * 60 / 40

Simplify the equation:


\boxed{\sf x =3}

Conclusion:

Marshall walks 3 miles in 1 hour.
