Answer 2

Answer: 3 miles per hour.

Explanation:

Given: Distance traveled by Seth =
`1(1)/(4)\ miles`

Convert into improper fraction, we get

Distance traveled by Seth =
`(5)/(4)\ miles`

Time taken by Seth to travel the given distance =
`(5)/(12)\ hour`

The unit rate of Seth =
`(distance)/(time)=((5)/(4))/((5)/(12))=(12)/(4)=3\ miles\ per\ hour`

Hence, the unit rate of Seth = 3 miles per hour
