Question

Find the Unit Rate

Answer 1

Answer:

1) $8.7\ \frac{meters}{hour}$

2) $1.92\ \frac{points}{game}$

3) $1.25\ \frac{strikeouts}{inning}$

4) $1.5*10^{-5}\ \frac{error}{piece}$

5) $33.40\ \frac{points}{career\ playoff\ game}$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Convert mixed numbers to decimal numbers dividing the numerator by the denominator and adding the result to Whole number part:

$21+0.75=21.75\\\\2+0.5=2.5$

The unit rate is:

$Unit\ rate=\frac{21.75\ meters}{2.5\ hour}\\\\Unit\ rate=8.7\ \frac{meters}{hour}$

2) Divide 2,857 points by 1,487 games:

 $Unit\ rate=\frac{2,857 \ points}{1,487\ games}\\\\Unit\ rate=1.92\ \frac{points}{game}$

3) Divide 255 strikeouts by 204 innings:

 $Unit\ rate=\frac{255\ strikeouts}{204\ innings}\\\\Unit\ rate=1.25\ \frac{strikeouts}{inning}$

4) Divide 15 errors by 1,000,000 pieces:

 $Unit\ rate=\frac{15\ errors}{1,000,000\ pieces}\\\\Unit\ rate=1.5*10^{-5}\ \frac{error}{piece}$

5) Divide 5,979 points by 179 career playoff games:

 $Unit\ rate=\frac{5,979\ points}{179\ career\ playoff\ games}\\\\Unit\ rate=33.40\ \frac{points}{career\ playoff\ games}$
