Explanation:

Given : Kenny reads

To find : What is Kenny's unit rate?

Solution :

Kenny reads
`(4)/(9)` page in

This can be written as,

`(4)/(9)\text{ page}=(3)/(5)\text{ minute}`

Divide both side by
`(9)/(4)`

`(4)/(9)* (9)/(4)\text{ page}=(3)/(5)* (9)/(4)\text{ minute}`

`1\text{ page}=(27)/(20)\text{ minute}`

The unit rate is
`(27)/(20)\text{ page/minute}`
