Answer:

3/2 or 1.5 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed Formula:

[tex]\displaystyle \large{s=\dfrac{d}{t}}[/tex]

speed = distance/time

Given:

  • Distance = 1/4 miles
  • Time = 1/6 hour

Therefore:

[tex]\displaystyle \large{s=\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{4}}{\dfrac{1}{6}}}\\\displaystyle \large{s=\dfrac{1}{4}\cdot 6}\\\displaystyle \large{s=\dfrac{6}{4}}\\\displaystyle \large{s=\dfrac{3}{2} \ \tt{miles/hour}}[/tex]

Therefore, they are traveling 3/2 or 1.5 miles per hour.
