To find Felicia's biking speed in miles per hour, we need to divide the distance she rode (three-fourths of a mile) by the time it took her to ride it (two-thirds of an hour).
The distance is three-fourths of a mile, which can be written as 3/4.
The time is two-thirds of an hour, which can be written as 2/3.
To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
So, (3/4) / (2/3) = (3/4) * (3/2) = 9/8.
Therefore, Felicia's biking speed is 9/8 miles per hour.
Answer: 9/8
