She bikes 82 1/2 miles in 6 3/4 hours.
The ratio of these numbers is a constant, so you
can multiply both by +4+
+4%2A82+%2B+4%2A%281%2F2%29+=+328+%2B+2+
+328+%2B+2+=+330+
and
+4%2A6+%2B+4%2A%283%2F4%29+=+24+%2B+3+
+24+%2B+3+=+27+
---------------
This means she bikes +330+%2F+27+ miles/hr
+330+%2F+27+=++12+%2B+6%2F27+
+12+%2B+6%2F27+=+12+%2B+2%2F9+
She traveled 12 and 2/9 miles in 1 hr
