Question
Find the rate of a hiker who walked $4 \frac{2}{3} \mathrm{mi}$ in $1 \frac{1}{3} \mathrm{h} .$ Use the equation $r=\frac{d}{t}$ where $r$ is the rate in miles per hour, $d$ is the distance, and $t$ is the time.
Step 1
The distance $4 \frac{2}{3}$ becomes $\frac{14}{3}$ and the time $1 \frac{1}{3}$ becomes $\frac{4}{3}$. Show more…
