Answer:

The standard unemployment rate is of 0.0794 = 7.94%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard unemployment rate, as a proportion, is the number of unemployed people divided by the size of the labor force.

In this question:

Labor force: 189 million

Number of unemployed people: 15 million

What is the standard unemployment rate?

15/189 = 0.0794

The standard unemployment rate is of 0.0794 = 7.94%.

Anna walked 8 miles in 3 hours. Juan walked 14 miles in 5 hours. Are these rates in proportion?
Veronika [31]

These rates are not in proportion. Juan walked faster.

Explanation:

First, we want to make these ratios to have the same denominator so we can compare the numerators. To do this, do 3x5 and 8x5 to get 40:15. Then, we do 5x3 and 14x3 to get 42:15. Now we can just compare the numbers 40 and 42, and since 42 < 40, we know Juan walked faster.
