Find the speed of you walked 5/9 of a mile in 1/4 if an hour

Your answer will be in miles per hour

There are  two ways to do this. Both use the forumula
d = v * t

Givens

d = 5/9 mile
t = 1/4 hour

Method One

Use your calculator to get rid of the fractions. (Likely both your teacher and your parents will hate this method, But humor me, do it).
d = 5/9 mile = 0.55555 mile
t = 1/4 hour = 0.25 hour

Calculation

v = d/t
v = 0.555555 / 0.25
v = 2.2222222 miles per hour.

Method Two

Use the fractions.

d = 5/9 // 1/4 Invert and multiply by the denominator.
d = 5/9 * 4/1 
d = 20 / 9 
d = 2 2/9
