1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: He will travel $\frac{1}{4}$ miles in 1 hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use the rule of 3.

I'm going to type the time info in the left side, and the distance in the right side.

$\frac{\frac{2}{3}h }{1h} =\frac{\frac{1}{6} mi}{xmi}$

$x=\frac{\frac{1}{6}*1 }{\frac{2}{3} }$

$x=\frac{\frac{1}{6} }{\frac{2}{3} }$

Multiply by the reciprocal of the fraction in the denominator.

$x=\frac{1}{6}*\frac{3}{2}$

$x=\frac{1}{4}$
