Question

Find the unit rate with the numbers 12 and one and one half

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of the unit rate is 8

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

To calculate the unit rate simply divide the first number by the second number

so

$12:1\frac{1}{2}$

Convert mixed number to an improper fraction

$1\frac{1}{2}=1+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1*2+1}{2}=\frac{3}{2}$

substitute in the expression above

$12:\frac{3}{2}=\frac{24}{3}=8$
