Question

Find the unit rate 180 miles in 3hours

Answer 1

60 miles per hour

Explanation:

Given is 180 miles in 3 hours.

We know that unit rate is written as x miles per hour or we can say x miles in one hour. So in order to find the unit rate for the above rate we can express the data in fraction form as,

180miles3hours

Now to make the denominator 1 and not change the given ratio we will divide both the numerator and denominator by 3.

=180miles÷33hours÷3

On dividing we get,

=60miles1hour

Thus we get 1 in denominator or this is the only unit rate.

Thus our answer is 60 miles per hour.

Answer 2

Explanation:

In this case, the unit rate would be:

Unit rate = 180 miles / 3 hours

Unit rate = 60 miles/hour
