It depends on the problem really. One example is that you drive 10 miles in 2 hours. So you divide the distance over time to get 10/2 = 5. This means you drove 5 miles per hour (mph). The unit rate for this example is 5 mph.

velikii [3]

First, we need to know that the current recommended daily allowance of Vitamin E is 15 milligrams. If Leena ate four tablespoons of peanut butter, thus receiving only 6 milligrams, then we can determine the percentage by first dividing 100 into 15 parts (which gives us 6.66), and then multiply that answer by 6 (6 x 6.66), which gives us precisely 40. Thus, the answer is 40 percent.

Area of one side triangle = 60 ÷ 8 = 7.5 m²

Given area and length, find height:
Area of each triangle = 7.6 m²
Length of each triangle = 3m

Area = 1/2 x base x height
7.5 = 1/2 x 3 x height
Heigth = 5m
