Answer 2

so walked 4/5 mile in a 4/9 h so just use the rule of 3 simple

60 minutes ------ 1 hour
x min. ----------- 4/9 h
--------------------------------
x = 4/9 *60/1 = 240/9 = 26,6 min.

4/5 mile -------in 26,6 min.
1 mile -------- x min.
-----------------------------
x = 1*26,6/(4/5) = 26,6 /(0,8) = 33,25 min.

1 mile ..... 33,25 min.
x miles ----- 60 min.
---------------------------
x = 60/33,25 = 1,8 miles

so their unit rate in miles per hour will be 1,8 miles / hour

hope this will help you
