Step-by-step explanation:

Hi!

I can help here.

So basically lets see what we have :

2/15 a mile in 20 minutes

And we are being asked :

How much will they pave in a hour, in miles.

So we need to take the 2 from the 2/15 since that is how much they have done in 20 minutes.

It is important to note that in a hour there is 60 minutes.

So an easy thing to do is take the 60 and divide it by 20 to find how many 20's go into 60.

60/20

=

3

So we now can take this 3 and the 2 in 2/15 and multiply.

3 x 2

=

6

So now it is

6/15

And that is your answer.

6/15 miles in an hour.

Remember you can simplify,

2/5

I hope this helps!
