Answer:

Her speed is of 2 miles per hour.

Explanation:

Velocity:

The velocity is given by the following formula:


v = (d)/(t)

In which v is the velocity, d is the distance and t is the time.

2/3 mile in 1/3 hour .

This means that
d = (2)/(3), t = (1)/(3)

Which unit rate describes antoinettes speed in miles per hour?

This is v. So


v = (d)/(t) = ((2)/(3))/((1)/(3)) = (2)/(3)*(3)/(1) = 2

Her speed is of 2 miles per hour.
