Answer 2

Answer:

Melissa walked at a rate of 1.0 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

Melissa walked at a rate of 88 feet per minute .

As

$1\ minutes = \frac{1}{60}\ hour$

$1\ feet = \frac{1}{5280}\ hour$

Now convert 88 feet per minutes into miles per hour.

$\frac{88\ feet}{minutes}= \frac{88\times \frac{1}{5280}}{\frac{1}{60}}\ miles\ per\ hour$

$\frac{88\ feet}{minutes}= \frac{\frac{88}{5280}}{\frac{1}{60}}\ miles\ per\ hour$

$\frac{88\ feet}{minutes}= \frac{0.017}{0.017}\ (Approx)\ miles\ per\ hour$

$\frac{88\ feet}{minutes}= 1.0\ miles\ per\ hour$

Therefore the Melissa walked at a rate of 1.0 miles per hour.
