Final Answer: Carl will ride \(\boxed{12}\) miles in 1 hour.

Steps

Step 1 ：Given that Carl bikes 9 miles every 3/4 hour, we can find the distance he rides in 1 hour by setting up a proportion and solving for the unknown.

Step 2 ：The proportion would be \(\frac{9 \text{ miles}}{\frac{3}{4} \text{ hour}} = \frac{x \text{ miles}}{1 \text{ hour}}\).

Step 3 ：Solving for x will give us the distance Carl rides in 1 hour.

Step 4 ：\(x = \frac{9 \text{ miles}}{\frac{3}{4} \text{ hour}} = 12 \text{ miles}\)

Step 5 ：Final Answer: Carl will ride \(\boxed{12}\) miles in 1 hour.
