Question

A dolphin swims 665,280 feet in 3 hours Find the dolphin's rate in feet per hour.

Answer 1

Answer:

221,760 feet per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

665,280/3 = 221,760

Answer 2

Answer:

So the rate given is

$\frac{665,280 feet}{3 hours}$

In this problem, you are trying to find the unit rate. The unit rate is, how many feet does the dolphin swim in 1 hour? This is a unit rate because the amount of hours is 1 hour, and unit rates always have a denominator of 1.

So, to find the unit rate, we must simplify

$\frac{665,280 feet}{3 hours}$

How do we simplify it? The denominator of this problem is already 3. How do we get from 3 to 1? We divide 3 by itself (3 ÷ 3). That equals 1.

$\frac{665,280 feet}{3 hours}$    

= $\frac{221,760 feet}{1 hour}$    

 [we divided both by 3]

Rule: Whatever you do to the numerator, you must do to the denominator.

Your answer is: $\frac{221,760 feet}{1 hour}$

I hope this helps!
