Answer 1

To find out how far Jariah can walk in 1 hour, we start by determining her walking rate in miles per hour.

Jariah walks \(2 \frac{2}{1}\) miles in \(\frac{4}{3}\) of an hour. First, let's convert \(2 \frac{2}{1}\) to an improper fraction:

\[ 2 \frac{2}{1} = 2 + 2 = 4 \text{ miles} \]

Now we have:

• Distance = 4 miles
• Time = \(\frac{4}{3}\) hours

Next, we will calculate her walking rate in miles per hour. The rate \(r\) can be calculated as follows:

\[ r = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}} = \frac{4 \text{ miles}}{\frac{4}{3} \text{ hours}} = 4 \times \frac{3}{4} = 3 \text{ miles per hour} \]

Now, to find out how far Jariah can walk in 1 hour, we simply multiply her rate by 1 hour:

\[ \text{Distance in 1 hour} = r \times 1 = 3 \text{ miles} \]

So, Jariah can walk 3 miles in 1 hour.

In terms of your original question about dividing \(\frac{4}{3}\) of an hour by what to find 1 hour, the answer is:

\[ \frac{4}{3} \div \frac{4}{3} = 1 \text{ hour} \]

Therefore, the final answer is:

\[ \text{Distance in 1 hour} = 3 \text{ miles} \]
