Question

A garden snail moves 1/6 foot in 1/3 hours. what is the unit rate?

Answer 1

1 hour=1/6+1/6+1/6
1 hour=3/6
1 hour=1/2

for every hour, the snail moved 1/2 a foot

Answer 2

The answer is:  "1.2 ft. / h " ;  or, write as:  "0.5 ft. / h" .
________________________________________
To calculate the unit rate:
_______________________________________
{(1/6) ÷ (1/3)] ft/hr .
_______________________________________
Note:
_______________________________________
{(1/6) ÷ (1/3)] = {(1/6) * (3/1)]}  = (1*3) / (6*1) = 3/6 = (3÷3)/(6÷3) ;
                                                
                                            = 1/2 ; or 0.5.
