Question

Jeremy can row 1/3 of a mile in 1/4 of an hour. What is the unit rate?

Answer 1

Answer:

The unit rate that Jeremy can row is 1.33 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Unit rate is defined as the distance over a time period. The distance that Jeremy can row is given and the time period is given.

The distance (miles) $=1/3=0.33$

The time period (hours) $=1/4=0.25$

The unit rate is distance per time:

$=0.33/0.25=1.33$

The unit rate that Jeremy can row is 1.33 miles per hour.

Answer 2

$Rate=\frac{distance}{time}\\\frac{\frac{1}{3}mile}{\frac{1}{4}hour}=\frac{1}{3}*(\frac{1}{4})^{-1}\\ \frac{1}{3}*\frac{4}{1}=\frac{4}{3}=1.333333...$
So Jeremy can row 1.333 miles per hour.
