miles&hour\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
\frac{1}{7}&\frac{1}{42}\\\\
m&1
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{\frac{1}{7}}{m}=\cfrac{\frac{1}{42}}{1}\implies \cfrac{1}{7m}=\cfrac{1}{42}\implies \cfrac{1\cdot 42}{7}=m
\\\\\\
6=m\qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \cfrac{6m}{1h}\implies 6\frac{m}{h}[/tex]
