Answer:

5 1/3 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use a ratio to solve

8 miles      x miles

------------ = --------

3 hours         2 hours

Using cross products

8*2 = 3x

16 = 3x

Divide by 3

16/3 = 3x/3

5 1/3 miles =x

Answer: [tex]5 \frac{1}{3}[/tex] miles

For the rate of 8 miles in 3 hours, you divide.

For the rate of - miles in 2 hours, multiply.

8 x 2 = 3x

16 = 3x

Now, we have to divide by 3x by 3.

3x divided by 3 = 5 1/3

Answer = 5 1/3
