Answer:


(9)/(8) feet per hour fast is Kelly's knitting
speed

Explanation:

Unit rate defined as the rates are expressed as a quantity 1 such as 4 meter per seconds or 4 miles per hour.

As per the statement:

Kelly is knitting a scarf for her brother. it took her 1/3 hour to knit 3/8 foot of the scarf.

She took /3 hour to knit 3/8 foot of the scarf.

Then by definition of unit rate we have;


\text{Unit rate per hour} = ((3)/(8) )/((1)/(3) ) =(3)/(8) \cdot 3 = (9)/(8) feet

Therefore,
(9)/(8) feet per hour fast is Kelly's knitting
speed.
