To find out how many miles Jack can swim in one hour, you can divide the total miles he can swim by the total hours he swims.
Jack swims 14 miles in 64 hours, so:
\[
\text{Miles per hour} = \frac{\text{Total miles}}{\text{Total hours}} = \frac{14 \text{ miles}}{64 \text{ hours}}
\]
Now, simplifying this fraction:
\[
\frac{14}{64} = \frac{7}{32} \approx 0.21875 \text{ miles per hour}
\]
This value is not among the options you provided (16, 14, 64, 12), which suggests that none of those options is correct. Jack swims approximately 0.21875 miles in one hour.
