11. hadley paddled a canoe $\frac{2}{3}$ mile in $\frac{1}{4}$ hour. how fast did hadley paddle, in miles per hour?
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Recall speed formula
Speed = $\frac{Distance}{Time}$
Step2: Substitute values
Given distance $d=\frac{2}{3}$ mile and time $t = \frac{1}{4}$ hour. So speed $v=\frac{\frac{2}{3}}{\frac{1}{4}}$
Step3: Simplify the fraction
$v=\frac{2}{3}\times4=\frac{8}{3}= 2\frac{2}{3}$ miles per hour
Answer:
$2\frac{2}{3}$ miles per hour
