You could do this with fractions. I'll do decimals later.

d = 3/4 mile
t = 2/3 hour
r = ????


r = 3/4 // 2/3 Invert and multiply the denominator
r = 3/4 * 3/2 = 9/8 = 1 1/8

If your calculator handles fractions, you can use it to do this. If not you can change this to a decimal.
d = 3/4 = 0.75 miles
t = 2/3 hour = 0.666666666 hours.
r = ???

d = r*t
r = d/t
r = 0.75 / 0.66666667
r = 1.125 miles / hour
which gives you exactly the same answer 1.125 = 1 1/8

The hiking speed is 1.375 mile per hour.

We have given that the Jerome climbed 3/4 of mile in 2/3 of hours

distance (d) = 3/4 mile

time (T) = 2/3 hour

Speed (r) = ????

What is the formula for distance?

distance=speed × time

By using above formula we calculate Speed

[tex]r = \frac{\frac{3}{4}}{ \frac{2}{3} }[/tex]

r = 3/4 × 3/2

= 9/8

= 1 1/8

=1.375 mile/hour.

Therefore the hiking speed is 1.375 mile per hour.
