Question

(04.01)The Baldwin family walked 4/5 of a mile in 4/9 of an hour. What is their unit rate in miles per hour?

Answer 1

Hello!

Since we know how much they walked in 4/9 of an hour, we will divide 4/5 by 4/9 to get 4/9 to one.

$\frac{4}{5}$÷$\frac{4}{9}$=$\frac{36}{20} = \frac{9}{5}$

They went 1 4/5 mph or 1.8 mph.

I hope this helps!

Answer 2

The Baldwin family walked  1.8 miles per hour, that is the unit rate :)
