Question

Compute the unit rate:
2/3 mile in 1/6 hour

Answer 1

Formula and Givens
Givens
d = 2/3 mile
t = 1/6 hour
r = ????
Formula
d = r*t is the way it is normally written.
r = d/t is what you want.

Substitution and Solve

r = d/t
r =
`(2/3)/(1/6)`

Now you turn the denominator upside down and multiply.

r =
`(2)/(3) * (6)/(1)`

The 3 and the six partially cancel.

You get 2 * 2 = 4 miles / hour.

Answer
4 miles / hour <<<< answer
