To find out how far Martina can walk in one hour, we need to determine the number of miles she walks per hour.
In the given information, it is stated that Martina walked 3/4 of a mile in 3/5 of an hour.
To find the distance Martina can walk in one hour, we can set up a proportion:
(3/4 miles) / (3/5 hours) = x miles / 1 hour
To find x, we need to cross-multiply and solve for x:
(3/4) * 1 = (3/5) * x
3/4 = 3x/5
Cross-multiplying, we get:
15x = 12
Dividing both sides of the equation by 15 gives:
x = 12/15
Simplifying, x = 4/5
Therefore, Martina can walk 4/5 of a mile in one hour.
So, the answer is (D) 4/5 of a mile.
