Question

Amy and her family were traveling during their vacation. She looked at her watch at point 1 in the diagram below, and then again at point 2 in the diagram below. her mom told her how far they traveled in that time, as noted below. What is the unit rate of the car?

Answer 1

The unit rate of the car is simply the average speed of the car between the two points.

The unit rate of the car is 40 miles per hour

From the diagram (see attachment), we have:

• The distance between the two points is: 80 miles
• The time spent to cover this distance is: 2 hours

The unit rate

So, the unit rate is:

$Rate = \frac{Distance}{Time}$

This gives

$Rate = \frac{80\ miles}{2\ hours}$

Simplify the quotient

$Rate = 40\ miles/hour$

Hence, the unit rate of the car is 40 miles per hour
