Question

Calculate the unit rate:write your answer as a decimal 1/2 mile in ever 1/3 hour​

Answer 1

Answer:

$unit \: rate = \frac{distance}{time}$

unit rate is similar to speed / velocity:

$unit \: rate = \frac{ (\frac{1}{2} )}{ (\frac{1}{3})} \\ \\ = \frac{1}{2} \div \frac{1}{3} \\ \\ = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{3}{1} \\ \\ = > { \boxed{ \boxed{unit \: rate = \frac{3}{2} \: miles \: per \: hour}}}$

[unit rate must have units including per <time> ]
