Question

A bicyclist rides 1/6 mile in 1/72 hour. Write this rate as a unit rate

Answer 1

Answer: 12 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Distance travelled = $\dfarc16\ mile$

Time taken = $\dfrac1{72}$ hour

Unite rate = speed  

The formula for speed is given by:-

$speed =\dfrac{Distance}{Time}$

So, unit rate = $\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{6}}{\dfrac{1}{72}}\ mile/ hour$

$=\dfrac{72}{6}\ mile /hour\\\\=12\ miles /hour$

Hence, unit rate = 12 miles per hour.
