Answer:

She can run 3/5 miles in 1 hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Ava can run 4/5 of a mile in 4/3 of an hour, we want to find how far she can run in 1 hour.

Let x represent the number of miles she can run in one hour.

The statement can be represented in the pair of equations:


\begin{gathered} (4)/(5)miles=(4)/(3)\text{hours} \\ \\ x\text{ hour }=1\text{hour} \end{gathered}

Using these equations, we have:


\begin{gathered} (4)/(5)=(4)/(3)x \\ \\ x=((4)/(5))/((4)/(3)) \\ \\ x=(4)/(5)*(3)/(4) \\ \\ =(3)/(5) \end{gathered}

That is, she can run 3/5 miles in 1 hour
