Answer:
2.5 miles per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{5}{8}[/tex]
Step 1: Apply the fraction rule: [tex]\frac{a}{b}\times \frac{c}{d}=\frac{a\:\times \:c}{b\:\times \:d}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{5}{8}=\frac{1\times \:5}{4\times \:8}[/tex]
Step 2: Set up the fraction
[tex]\frac{5\times \:4}{8}[/tex]
- Cancel the numbers: [tex]\frac{4}{8}=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
- [tex]=\frac{5}{2}[/tex]
- Convert to decimal
- [tex]\frac{5}{2} = 2.5[/tex]
Therefore, Oscar's speed is 2.5 miles per hour.
