Find the unit rate. 5/8 mile in 1/4 hour

Answer 1

Answer

The unit rate in miles per hour is 2.5 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4 x 4 = 1 hour
5/8 x 4 = miles that would have been covered in one hour
20/8 of a mile would have been covered in one hour
20/8 = 2.5
2.5 miles would have been covered in an hour, with which his speed was 2.5 mph.
