Answer 1

She walked 2 2/5 mph

Answer 2

Answer:

2 2/5 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the miles per hour

Changing the miles to an improper fraction

1 1/5 = ( 5*1+1)/5 = 6/5 miles

6/5 miles

Divide by the number of hours  1/2

6/5 ÷ 1/2

Copy dot flip

6/5 * 2/1

12/5

Change back to a mixed number

2 2/5 miles per hour
