Question

A construction crew built 1/2 miles of road in 1/6 days. What is the unit rate in miles per day? Write your answer in simplest form.

Answer 1

Answer:

Unit rate miles per day is, 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Unit rate are defined as the rate are expressed as quantity of 1 such that 2 miles per hour or 5 km per hour.

As per the given statement: A construction crew built 1/2 miles of road in 1/6 days

by unit rate definition;

$\text{Unit rate per day} =\frac{\text{Number of miles}}{\text{Number of days}}$

After substituting the given values we have

⇒ $\text{Unit rate per day} = \frac{\frac{1}{2} }{\frac{1}{6} }$

or

$\text{Unit rate per day} = \frac{1}{2} \times 6 = \frac{6}{2} = 3$

Therefore, unit rate miles per day is, 3
