A manatee can swim 5 miles in 1 1/4 hour. If the manatee swims at the same average speed, how far can it swim in one hour?

Ah -- now it makes sense.

5/(1 1/4) = x/1
(1 1/4)x = 5
x = 5 / (5/4)
x = 5 * (4/5) = 20/5 = 4 miles
I’m super sorry haha
It's o.k.
Sometimes new technology screws us up more than helps us.
I know a retired professor who is blind. It took him a lot of practice to master the technology to translate voice into written words.
