Answer:

  3 runners

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of runners needed is the length of the race divided by the length each runner can run:

  (1/3 mi)/(1/9 mi/runner) = 9/3 runner = 3 runners

_____

There are a couple of ways you can divide fractions:

  → "invert and multiply." That is, multiply the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator. Here, that is (1/3)(9/1) = 9/3 = 3

  → make the denominators the same and use the ratio of the numerators. Here that is (1/3)/(1/9) = (3/9)/(1/9) = 3/1 = 3

  → use a calculator (see attached)

Brut [27]
720 miles traveled on 60 gallons of gasoline.
Express this on its Unit Rate.
To get the answer, we need to divide 720 miles by 60 gallons of gasoline
=> 720 / 60 = 12 miles /gallons
Thus, in every 1 gallon of gasoline, you can travel 12 miles.
So, the expression would be like this:
720 miles / 60 gallons = 12 miles / gallon
Let’s check our answer
=> 12 miles x 60 gallons = 720 miles.
Thus, we got the correct answer.
