Answer 1

4 miles per hour

Explanation:

I know that the hot air balloon moves 2/5 mile in 1/10 hour. To find how many miles this hot air balloon moves in an hour, I had to multiply both 2/5 and 1/10 by 10. I got 4 miles in 1 hour.

2/5 mile in 1/10 hour

* 10 on both sides

4 miles in 1 hour

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

Using the equation, speed= distance/time, we can plug in the values (speed=.4/6). We can solve this and get an answer of 4 mph :)

hope this helped! good luck!
