The answer is b.

50 / 2.5= 20 (unit rate)

if Jenny walked 2.5 miles in 50 minutes, she walked 1 in 20 minutes becuase the unit rate is 20.

hopefully this helps

For this question, let's use algebra!

2.5 miles = 50 minutes
1 mile x minutes

x minutes = 50 x 1 ÷ 2.5
x minutes = 20

Hope this helps!
