Question

The Martinez family walked three over five of a mile in three over eight of an hour. What equation can be used to calculate their unit rate in miles per hour?
three-fifths over three-eights equals one and three-fifths miles per hour

three-eighths over three-fifths equals one and three-fifths miles per hour

three-eighths over three-fifths equals five over eight mile per hour

three-fifths over three-eights equals five over eight mile per hour

Answer 1

Velocity=distance/time

v=d/t

So in this case:

v=(3mi/5)/(3hr/8)  that's the equation you need to solve.

v=(3m/5)*(8/3hr)

8/5 mph=(3m/5)*(8/3hr)

1 3/5 mph= (3/5)/(3/8)

So the first statement is correct.
