Answer:4.8 miles

Explanation:

3/8 of an hour to walk 9/10 of a mile

2 hour to walk ____

Distance walked in 2hr=(2x9/10) ➗ 3/8

Distance walked in 2hr=18/10 ➗ 3/8

Distance walked in 2hr=18/10 x 8/3

Distance walked in 2hr=(18x8) ➗ (10x3)

Distance walked in 2hr=144 ➗ 30

Distance walked in 2hr=4.8 miles

Answer:

Velocity = distance / time

Velocity = (9/10) / (3/8)

Velocity = (9/10) * (8/3) = 72 / 30 =24 / 10 = 2.4 miles per hour

Therefore, you could walk 4.8 miles in 2 hours.
