To find the miles Francis can run in one hour, we need to divide the total distance he ran by the total time he ran.
First, we convert the mixed number 2 2/5 to an improper fraction:
2 2/5 = (5 * 2 + 2)/5 = 12/5
Next, we add the miles Francis ran and the hours he ran:
12/5 miles + 7/12 hour = (12/5)(12/12) miles + (7/12)(5/5) hour = 144/60 + 35/60 = 179/60 miles
Finally, we divide the total distance by the total time to find the speed:
179/60 miles / 1 hour = 179/60 miles/hour
Therefore, Francis can run approximately 2 59/60 miles in one hour.
