Question

Ann walks 7/8 mile in 1/4 hour. Find the unit rate in miles per hour

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer in MPH (miles per hour) would be 3.5 or 3 1/2 MPH.

Step-by-step explanation:

7/8 = 0.875

1/4 = 0.25

This is a fraction equal to 0.875 miles ÷ 0.25 hours.

We want a unit rate where 1 is in the denominator, so we divide top and bottom by 0.25.

0.875 miles ÷ 0.25/ 0.25 hours ÷ 0.25

= 3.5 miles/1 hour

= 3.5 miles/ hour

3.5 = 3 1/2

= 3 1/2 miles per hour

Hope this helps!
