Answer 1

Answer:

1 3/5 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance = rate * time

We know the distance and the time

2/5 miles = rate * 1/4 hour

Divide by 1/4

2/5   ÷ 1/4 = rate * 1/4 ÷ 1/4

Copy dot flip

2/5 * 4/1 = rate

8/5 = rate

1  3/5 miles per hour is the rate

Answer 2

2÷5=0.4
1÷4=0.25
0.4÷0.25=0.016
so she walks at a rate of 0.016 miles per hour
