Question

Joseph cycled a distance of 4 miles in 45 minutes. What is the unit rate at which Joseph was cycling?

Answer 1

Because
rate = distance/time
r =
`(4 miles)/(45 minutes)`
so it would be
r =
`(4)/(45)` miles per minute

Or if it was miles per hour:

`(4)/(45) = (x)/(60)`
Cross multiplication gives us
45x = 240

`(16)/(3)` mph
