Answer 1

Answer:

A. 60 miles per hour

B.120 customers per day

C.2.5 meters per second

D. $1.59  per pound

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we are asked to determine the unit rate for each one of the options given. By unit rate we mean the quantity for per unit quantity . Hence in order to find that we divide the two and quotient is our unit rate. Let us see how:

A. 420 miles in 7 hours

Unit rate = $\frac{420}{7}$

Unit rate = 60 miles per hour

B. 360 customers in 30 days

unit rate = $\frac{360}{30}$

Unit rate = 120 customers per day

C. 40 meters in 16 seconds

Unit rate = $\frac{40}{16}$

Unit rate = 2.5 meters per second

D. $7.96 for 5 pounds

Unit rate = $\frac{7.96}{5}$

Unit rate = $1.59  per pound
