Answer:

The unit rate is $\frac{27}{20}\text{ page/minute}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Kenny reads $\frac{4}{9}$ page in $\frac{3}{5}$ min.

To find : What is Kenny's unit rate?

Solution :

Kenny reads $\frac{4}{9}$ page in $\frac{3}{5}$ minute

This can be written as,

$\frac{4}{9}\text{ page}=\frac{3}{5}\text{ minute}$

Divide both side by $\frac{9}{4}$

$\frac{4}{9}\times \frac{9}{4}\text{ page}=\frac{3}{5}\times \frac{9}{4}\text{ minute}$

$1\text{ page}=\frac{27}{20}\text{ minute}$

The unit rate is $\frac{27}{20}\text{ page/minute}$
