Remark
the question depends on d= r * t
d = the distance in miles.
r = the rate of travel in miles per hour
t = the time in hours.
Step One
Rearrange the formula so you are solving for the rate.
d = r * t Divide by t
4 5/6 = (4*6 + 5)/6 = 29/6
r = d / t
Step Two
Substitute into the equation.
[tex] r = \dfrac{\dfrac{29}{6}}{\dfrac{2}{3} }[/tex]
Step Three
Turn the bottom fraction upside down. Multiply these two together.
r = [tex] \dfrac{29}{6} * \dfrac{3}{2} [/tex]
r = 29/4 miles hour.
Step Four
Solve for d when t = 1 hour.
d = ??
r = 29/4 miles / hour
t = 1 hour.
d = 29/4 * 1
d = 29/4 miles
That's as simple as you can get it unless you want 7 1/4 miles or 7.25 miles
