Question

A bicyclist rides 1/6 mile in 1/72 hour. Write this rate as a unit rate

Answer 1

Answer: 12 miles per hour.

Explanation:

Given: Distance travelled =
`\dfarc16\ mile`

Time taken =
`\frac1{72}` hour

Unite rate = speed

The formula for speed is given by:-

`speed =(Distance)/(Time)`

So, unit rate =
`((1)/(6))/((1)/(72))\ mile/ hour`

`=(72)/(6)\ mile /hour\\\\=12\ miles /hour`

Hence, unit rate = 12 miles per hour.
