Question

Find each rate and unit rate...

Answer 1

Answer:

a. $=60$ miles per hour

b. $=12$ customers per day

c. $=2.5$ meters per second

d. $=1.59$ dollars per pound

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the unit rate in each of the following.

Let us consider one by one.

a.  420 miles in 7 hours

To find the unit rate, we need to divide 420 by 7.

So, unit rate is $\frac{420}{7}$

$=60$ miles per hour

b. 360 customers in 30 days

To find the unit rate, we need to divide 360 by 30.

So, unit rate is $\frac{360}{30}$

$=12$ customers per day

c. 40 meters in 16 seconds

To find the unit rate, we need to divide 40 by 16.

So, unit rate is $\frac{40}{16}$

$=2.5$ meters per second

d. $7.96 for 5 pounds

To find the unit rate, we need to divide 7.96 by 5.

So, unit rate is $\frac{7.96}{5}$

$=1.59$ dollars per pound
