In the las 30 school days, a school bus has been late 24 times. What is the unit rate of days the bus is late to total numbers of school days? And describe what this means in words.

It is late 24/30 days, so the unit rate is 0.8.
It means that the bus is late 0.8 times every day. In other words, it is late 80% of the time.

Basically there are 180 days in a school year so if a school buss is late 24 times in 30 days it will be late 168 times in a school year not counting the last days which will be exactly 173 late buses in a whole year .

Hope this helped :)
