Answer:

12 2/3  km  per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

What is Harveys speed?

Take the distance and divide by the time

3 1/6 km

--------------

1/4 hour

Change the mixed number to an improper fraction

3 1/6 = (6*3+1)/6 = 19/6

19/6 km

--------------

1/4 hour

Copy dot flip

19/6 * 4/1 = 76/6 = 38/3  km/hr

3 goes into 38 12 times  (12*3 = 36)  with 2 left over

12 2/3  km  per hour
