Hi,for this problem we are going to find how many miles are traveled given our rate. So we are just going to divide the number of miles by the number of minutes to find the number of miles that would be traveled in one minute. Now when we divide 104 by 78, we get a really long number with a repeating decimal, which is 1.33333333333333..., do not be confused by this. This long number is equal to one third.(1/3). So our final answer for our rate is 1/3 mile per minute. Good luck and let me know if you have any more questions. :)
