Answer 1

This is just a simple division problem. To make your life easier, make them both into improper fractions, 254/5 and 4/1. Use reciprocals to multiply. 254/5 * 1/4. Then you get 127/10, which simplifies to 12 7/10 as your answer.

I hope this helped and did not confuse you!

Answer 2

Hey!

If Louisa biked 50 4/5 miles in 4 hours, you have to divide distance by time to find the unit rate

50 4/5 as a decimal is 50.8


`Unit-Rate = (distance)/(time)`


`(distance)/(time) = (50.8)/(4)`


`50.8/ 4 = 12.7`


`\framebox{12.7 miles per hour}`


`12.7 = 12 (7)/(10)`
