Camden can run 1/2 mile in 1/8 of an hour. Determine the miles per hour.

Answer 1

To determine the miles per hour that Camden can run, we need to find the distance she can run in one hour.

Since Camden can run 1/2 mile in 1/8 of an hour, we can set up a proportion:

1/8 hour = 1/2 mile
x hour = 1 mile

Cross multiply to solve for x:

8 * 1/2 = 1 * x
4 = x

Therefore, Camden can run 1 mile in 4 hours. This means she can run at a speed of 4 miles per hour.
