So,

This is how I mentally do it.

Convert 1 1/3 miles to decimal form.

1 1/3 - - > 1.3333333 ...

Since that is 1/10 of the desired rate, we simply move the decimal place one place to the right.

1.333333 ... - - > 13.3333333 ...

Convert to fraction form.

13 1/3 mph

Lauren bikes 13 1/3 miles per hour.
