Answer:
8 miles per hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
Nathan runs [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] mile in each [tex]\frac{1}{12}[/tex] hour.
We will calculate his speed in miles per hour.
Since Nathan runs [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] miles in [tex]\frac{1}{12}[/tex] hour
We will divide the numbers to get his speed per hour.
Nathan runs in 1 hour = [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] ÷ [tex]\frac{1}{12}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{12}{1}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{24}{3}[/tex]
= 8 miles
Nathan's speed is 8 miles per hour.
