The expression \( \frac{3}{12} \) describes the number of hours per mile.
To clarify, since Bradley hikes 12 miles in 3 hours, the expression can be understood as follows:
- The numerator (3) represents the number of hours.
- The denominator (12) represents the number of miles.
Thus, \( \frac{3 \text{ hours}}{12 \text{ miles}} \) simplifies to \( \frac{1 \text{ hour}}{4 \text{ miles}} \), indicating that it takes Bradley 1 hour to hike 4 miles, or in other words, that he takes \( \frac{1}{4} \) hours per mile.
