Question

Jeremy can row 1/3 of a mile in 1/4 of an hour.what is the unit rate

Answer 1

Jeremy rows 1/3 of a mile in 1/4 of an hour.
The unit rowing rate is
1/3 mile ÷ 1/4 hour
= (1/3)*(4/1) miles/hour
=4/3 miles/hour
=1.333 miles/hour (approx.)

Answer 2

`1(1)/(3)` hour

Explanation:

Jeremy can row
`(1)/(3)` of a mile in
`(1)/(4)` of an hour.

Since in
`(1)/(4)` hour Jeremy can row =
`(1)/(3)` mile

Therefore, in 1 hour Jeremy can row =
`(1)/(3)` ÷
`(1)/(4)`

=
`(1)/(3)` ×
`(4)/(1)`

=
`(4)/(3)`

=
`1(1)/(3)` miles

Jeremy can row
`1(1)/(3)` in 1 hour.
