In order to find the rate of speed in miles per hour, we need to divide the distance with the time he spent on running.
So divide ¾ of a mile with 1/8 of an hour.
¾miles / 1/8hours
In order to divide 2 fractions we need multiply the first fraction with the reverse of the second fraction. So we will have:
=¾ * 8=
=(8*3)/4 =
=24/8=
=3miles/h
