Answer 1

a. 420 miles in 7 hours = 420miles/7hours = 60 miles/hour

b. 360 customers in 30 days = 360 customers/30 days = 12 customers / day.

c. 40 meters in 16 pounds = 40 meters / 16 pounds = 2.5 meters / pound

d. $7.96 for 5 pounds = $7.96 / 5 pounds = $ 1.592 / pound

a.60 miles per hour
b. 12 customers per day
c. 2.5 meters in 1 pound
d. $1.592 for 1 ound
