You can put this solution on YOUR website!
"you can walk M miles in H hours"

We have the ratio M miles : H hours. Divide both parts by H so we go from "H hours" to "1 hour"

M miles : H hours
M/H miles : H/H hours
M/H miles : 1 hour

This means that you can walk M%2FH miles in one hour.

Multiply that expression by 3 to get %283M%29%2FH. This is the amount of miles you can walk in 3 hours.

So the answer is G. 3M/H
