2 1/12 you do 1 1/4 divided by 5/12 which gives you 2 1/12. Also unit rate is asking the first rate.....

Answer 2

Answer: 3 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Distance traveled by Seth = $1\frac{1}{4}\ miles$

Convert into improper fraction, we get

Distance traveled by Seth = $\frac{5}{4}\ miles$

Time taken by Seth to travel the given distance = $\frac{5}{12}\ hour$

The unit rate of Seth = $\frac{distance}{time}=\frac{\frac{5}{4}}{\frac{5}{12}}=\frac{12}{4}=3\ miles\ per\ hour$

Hence, the unit rate of Seth = 3 miles per hour
