x is the starting weight. x + 0.6x is the increase, and the total is 80.

Hong reads 9 3/4 chapters in 3 3/8 hours. What is the unit rate in chapters per hour? Write your answer as a fraction or a mixed

Sav [38]

The unit rate is: $2\frac{8}{9}$ chapters per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

chapters read = $9\frac{3}{4} = \frac{39}{4}$

Time = $3\frac{3}{8} = \frac{27}{8}$

Unit rate is calculated by dividing the total chapters by total time

So,

$Unit\ rate = \frac{\frac{39}{4}}{\frac{27}{8}}\\= \frac{39}{4} * \frac{8}{27}\\= 13 * \frac{2}{9}\\=\frac{26}{9}\\=2\frac{8}{9}$

Hence,

The unit rate is: $2\frac{8}{9}$ chapters per hour
