Maria is training for a triathlon. Yesterday, she rode her bike for eight and two-thirds miles in two-thirds of an hour. If Maria continues to rides at the same rate, how far will she ride in one hour?
---------------
rate = distance/time
rate = (8 2/3 miles)/(2/3 hr) = (26/3)/(2/3) = 13 miles per hour
----
Ans: 13 miles
