It is given that, a mouse covered a distance of 3/24 miles over a distance of 3 hours. Each hour, the mouse traveled the same distance. Distance traveled in 1 hour can be calculated by dividing 3/24 miles by 3. So,

$d=\dfrac{\dfrac{3}{24}}{3}\\\\d=\dfrac{3}{24}\times \dfrac{1}{3}\\\\d=\dfrac{1}{24}\ \text{hours}$

Matt calculations shows that the distance is 3/8 hours. While dividing 3/24 by 3, he doesn't take reciprocal of 3 as a result he get 9 on numerator and 24 on denominator. Simplified fraction of 9/24 is 3/8. But the correct answer should be 1/24 hours.
