Answer:

4/3 miles = 1.33 miles

Explanation:

No of miles paved in 1/4 of hour = 1/3

if in one one-fourth part of hour X miles can be paved

as one hour is equal to four times of one-fourth part then 4X miles can be paved

as with increase in hour, no. of miles paved will increase proportionally

No of miles paved in 1/4 * 4 of hour = 1/3 * 4

No of miles paved in one hour = 4/3 miles = 1.33 miles
