Natalie walked $\frac{3}{5}$ mile in $\frac{1}{2}$ hour. How fast did she walk, in miles per hour?
$\frac{3}{10}$ mile per hour
$\frac{5}{6}$ mile per hour
$1 \frac{1}{5}$ miles per hour
2 miles per hour
Answer
Final Answer: Natalie walked at a speed of \(\boxed{1 \frac{1}{5}}\) miles per hour.
Step 1 ：The problem is asking for the speed of Natalie in miles per hour. Speed is calculated by dividing the distance by the time. In this case, the distance is \(\frac{3}{5}\) mile and the time is \(\frac{1}{2}\) hour. So, we need to divide \(\frac{3}{5}\) by \(\frac{1}{2}\) to find the speed.
Step 2 ：Let's denote the distance as 0.6 and the time as 0.5.
Step 3 ：By dividing the distance by the time, we get the speed as 1.2.
Step 4 ：Final Answer: Natalie walked at a speed of \(\boxed{1 \frac{1}{5}}\) miles per hour.
