Question

Find the unit rate.

Kenny reads 3/8 page in 2/5 minute.
Kenny's unit rate is _____ page per Minute

Answer 1

Kenny's unit rate is 15/16 page per minute.

Explanation:

To find Kenny's unit rate, we need to divide the amount he reads (in pages) by the time it takes him (in minutes).

$\frac{3}{8 , \text{page}} \div \frac{2}{5} , \text{min} = \frac{3}{8} \cdot \frac{5}{2} , \frac{\text{page}}{\text{min}} = \frac{15}{16} , \frac{\text{page}}{\text{min}}$

Kenny reads 3/8 page in 2/5 minute, so we can set up the division like this:

Therefore, Kenny's unit rate is 15/16 page per minute.
