Answer:

1/4 of a mile in 1/10 of an hour

you can set up a proportion

(1/4)/(1/10)=2/H

you can now simplify or cross multiply

simplifying the left side

(1/4) divided by (1/10) equals (1/4) times (10/1)

(1/4)*(10/1)=10/4=5/2

5/2=2/H

cross multiply

5H=2*2

5H=4

H=4/5 of an hour or (4/5)*60=48 minutes

another solution...

2/(1/4)=8 and 8*(1/10)=8/10=4/5 of an hour or 48 minutes again
