Ms. Sue
The cart is traveling 12 miles in an hour. The question asks how long it will take to go only 3 miles. We're looking for an answer that is less than an hour.

3 divided by 12 = 1/4 of an hour

Changing that to a decimal as requested: 1 divided by 4 = 0.25

Multiply the numerators together. Then multiply the denominators together.
