He must walk 1 mile in half of 43 minutes.

43/2 = 21.5 minutes
its not 21.5, its asling8fpr HOURS, and the 43 are MINUTES
asking *
43/60 = hours

miles/hour

2 divided by 43/60

2 times 60/43

120/43 divide and round to 2 decimal places

distance = rate x time

distance = (your answer from above) * time
Oops! Sorry. I misread the problem.

Let's use a proportion.

2/43 = x/60

43x = 120

x = 2.79 miles an hour
