When rates are expressed as a quantity of 1, such as 2 feet per second<span> or </span>5 miles per hour<span>, they are called unit rates. If you have a multiple-unit rate such as 120 students for every 3 buses, and want to find the single-unit rate, write a ratio equal to the multiple-unit rate with 1 as the second term.</span>
You would multiply 2x4 and 3x4 and it would be 8/12 so that leaves you with 4 twelths left.
X= 24 because 26/13 is 2 and 48/24 is also 2
Distance = speed* time
D= constant rate *1/4 miles/hour
