Question

A construction crew built 1/2 miles of road in 1/6 days. What is the unit rate in miles per day? Write your answer in simplest form.

Answer 1

Unit rate miles per day is, 3

Explanation:

Unit rate are defined as the rate are expressed as quantity of 1 such that 2 miles per hour or 5 km per hour.

As per the given statement: A construction crew built 1/2 miles of road in 1/6 days

by unit rate definition;

`\text{Unit rate per day} =\frac{\text{Number of miles}}{\text{Number of days}}`

After substituting the given values we have

⇒
`\text{Unit rate per day} = ((1)/(2) )/((1)/(6) )`

or

`\text{Unit rate per day} = (1)/(2) * 6 = (6)/(2) = 3`

Therefore, unit rate miles per day is, 3
