Question

while exercising victor walked 1/8 of a mile in 1/9 of an hour. at this rate, how far will he travelled after an hour?

Answer 1

1 and 1/8 of a mile is how far he’ll walk

Answer 2

(1/8) / (1/9) = x / 1.....1/8 mile to 1/9 hr = x miles to 1 hr
cross multiply
(1/9)(x) = (1/8)(1)
1/9x = 1/8
x = (1/8) / (1/9)
x = 1/8 * 9/1
x = 9/8 or 1 1/8 miles <==
