Explanation:

To solve:

___________________

→    *  2 h  ;

                    in which:  "mi."  =  mile(s) ;

                                     "h"  =  "hour(s)" .

___________________

→  We need to find the value, in unit of "mi." {"miles"} ;

→  We have:    *  2 h   =   __? __  mi.  ???   ;   

      →  On the "left-hand-side" of the equation; the units of "h" {"hours"}  

               cancel out ;  

                  →   { since "  = 1  " } ;

 →  and we are left with:  "" mi.  ;

      →   ""  mi. ;

                 =  " {53 ÷ 2}"  mi.   ;

                 =  " 26.5  mi. "  ;
