Answer:
0.80mph
Step-by-step explanation:
If 1/5 = 1/4, then:
she swims 1/5 miles for every 1/4 (fourth) of an hour
per hour means 1 hour
we must covert 1/4 to 4/4 (one mile)
1/4 × 4/1 = 4/4
if we multiply by 4/1 to get to 4/4, then we must also multiply by 4/1 for 1/5 miles
1/5 × 4/1 = 4/5
Her unit rate in miles per hour is 4/5 per 1 miles, or 0.80mph
*0.80 = 4/5 because 4 × 20 = 80 and 5 × 20 = 100; 80/100 = 0.80*
