Question

lena skied downhill at a steady speed on a 3-mile slope. she reached the bottom of the slope in \\(\frac{1}{4}\\) hour. lena wants to know her speed in miles per hour. which fraction represents lenas speed in miles per hour? \\(\frac{\frac{1}{4}}{3}\\) \\(\frac{1}{4}\\) \\(\frac{3}{4}\\) \\(\frac{3}{\frac{1}{4}}\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall speed formula

Speed = $\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}$

Step2: Plug in given values

Distance = 3 miles, Time = $\frac{1}{4}$ hour.
Speed = $\frac{3}{\frac{1}{4}}$

Answer:

$\frac{3}{\frac{1}{4}}$
