Answer: approximately 8.5714 mph

========================================================

Work Shown:

(1 mile)/(7 minutes) = (x miles)/(1 hour)

(1 mile)/(7 minutes) = (x miles)/(60 minutes)

1/7 = x/60

1*60 = 7*x .... cross multiply

60 = 7x

7x = 60

x = 60/7 .... divide both sides by 7

x = 8.5714
