To find mi/hr, divide the miles by the hours.

You want to convert this to:
[ miles that you travel ] / [ 1 hour ]
This is your rate of speed
----------------------------
Your fraction is:
+20+%2F+%28%283%2F4%29%29+
Multiply the top and bottom by +4%2F3+
+20%2A%284%2F3%29+%2F+1+
+80%2F3+=+26.667+ mi/hr
-----------------------
The goal was to get [ miles traveled ] / [ 1 hr ]
which is what you read on the speedometer
of a car
------------
Does this help, or did I miss what's confusing you?
