The posted rate in a taxi is $0.44/ 1/4 mi. What is the unit rate

answer: $1.76 / mi.

explanation:

The unit rate is how many per mile. We are given the rate for 1/4 of a mile. so, we need to convert 1/4 into a mile.

To do this, we would need to multiply the value for 1/4 by 4 since there are 4 1/4ths that make up a whole.

$0.44 x 4 = $1.76

so, the unit rate is $1.76 / mi.

i hope this helps, and have a great day! don't hesitate to ask if you need more help with this specific question! ♥ - eviezoom
