    3 miles per hour

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We need to subtract the two numbers to find the difference in speeds

    4/5 - 3/4

    We need to get a common denominator of 20

    4/5 * 4/4 - 3/4 * 5/5

    16/20 - 15/20

    1/20

    The car going 4/5 miles per minute is going 1/20 miles per minute faster than the car going 3/4 miles per minute.

    The question asks for miles per hour, not miles per minute. We know that there are 60 minutes per hour.

    1/20 miles per minute * 60 minutes / hour

    60/20 miles/hour

    3 miles / hour

    The car going 4/5 miles per minute is going 3 miles per hour faster than the car going 3/4 miles per minute.
