Question

In 5 days, Southwest Airlines has at least 16,000 flights. What is an appropriate unit rate? How many flights would there be per week?

Answer 1

The unit rate would have one day: to the number of flights. 

If you divide the days by 5 to get to 1, you would also divide the flights.

16,000/ 5= 3200

Per 1 day, Southwest airlines have 3200 flights. 

Hope I helped!

Answer 2

First we need to find how many flights there are per day. Divide 16,000 by 5 to get 3200. 3200 flights per day. Then you multiply 3200 by 7 to find the amount of flights per week. 22400!
