First, let's convert the givens to decimals to make calculations easier: 2 (3/4) = 2.75 9(5/8) = 9.625
We are given that: Josie can hike 2.75 miles in one hour. To know the time that Josie would take to hike 9.625 miles, we will simply do cross multiplication as follows: 2.75 miles ..........> 1 hour 9.625 miles .............> ?? hours
