Question

Shaun read 60 pages in 3/4 h. What is the unit rate that represents the number of pages Shaun can read in 1 h? Enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

Shaun can read 20 pages in one hour

Answer 2

One way to determine the "unit rate" here would be to multiply both "60 pages" and "(3/4) hour" by 4/3:

            60 pages       per      3/4 hour

        (4/3)(60 pages   per     (4/3)(3/4) hour

            80 pages        per      hour 

You could also solve this by using an equation of ratios:

60 pages              x
------------- = ---------------
 (3/4) hr            1 hr

Solving this results in x = 80 pages.
