Question

A plane travels 3,625.26 miles in 6.9 hours. What is the plane’s unit rate?

a. Represent this situation with a fraction.
b. Represent this situation using the same units.
c. Estimate the quotient.
d. Express the divisor as a whole number.
e. Use the division algorithm to find the quotient.

Answer 1

The correct answers are:

a)
`(3625.26 miles)/(6.9hours)`

b)36252.6 tenths miles÷ 69 tenths hours

c)
`(3500miles)/(7hours)= 500(miles)/(hour)`

d)
`(3625.26miles)/(6.9hours) (10)/(10) =(36252.6miles)/(69hours)`

e) 525.4 miles/h
