1 hour = 60 minutes
→ 9 per hour = 9 per 60 minutes
therefore divide by 60 to give you how many per minute:
9 per 60 minutes = 9/60 per 60/60 minutes = 3/20 per minute.

4 miles in 36 minutes is a 9 minute per mile pace. So the question becomes, how many 9 minute groups are in an hour. 60/9 = 6.66 miles per hour. 4 miles in 40 minutes = 6 miles per hour. 4 miles in 24 minutes = 10 miles per hour and so on.
Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, we know there will be less than 1 hour in the answer. The correct answer will be a fraction. To find the answer, first convert your hour to minutes. 1 hour = 60 minutes Second, divide the minutes you started with (54) by the hour (60). You will arrive at an answer of 0.9, or converted to a fraction, 9/10 of an hour.
The runner would be running at 6.67 miles per hour. This is answered by dividing 60 (minutes in an hour) by 9 (minutes it took for one mile). You are basically saying that the runner will run a mile every 9 minutes, so how many '9 minutes' (each mile ran) are in an hour.
9km per 60 minutes (1 hour) 9000m (9km) divided by 60 minutes (1 hour) is 150m per minute 150m (per minute) x 15 minutes = 2250m per 15 minutes That gives you 2250m (2.25km) per 15 minutes at 9 km per hour :) +++ Another approach there would have been to use the simple fraction of the hour: just divide 9000metres by 4. (I.e. multiply the distance by the number of hours.) However the you way you used is important by showing the principles of such calculations.
Running one mile in nine minutes is running at 6.66 miles per hour.
