Question

I need help can you guys answer it the question is which rate describes a unit rate of 8:1???

options:
A: 12 feet for 3 dogs
B:40 miles for 5 hours
C: 70 for 5 umbrellas
D: 45 sit ups in 9 seconds​

Answer 1

Answer: B) 40 miles for 5 hours

Divide both values by 5 and we'll simplify that to 8 miles for 1 hour. This is the same as saying 8 miles per hour, or 8 mph.

The ratio 8:1 is read as "8 to 1", meaning the first value is 8 times that of the second value. Note how 40 is 8 times that of 5, ie 40 = 8*5.

Answer 2

the answer is b: 40 miles in 5 hours
solution: simplify both numbers by the gcf
40/5=8
5/5=1
8:1
