Answer 1

Hey there!

First, we are given:

`(1(1)/(4))/(1(3)/(8))`

To make this easier, I am going to change the fractions in to decimals.

`(1.25)/(0.375)`

To get the unit rate, we can use proportions:

`(1.25)/(0.375) = (x)/(1)`

Using cross products, we know that...

`1.25 * 1 = 0.375 * x`

Now, we solve for
`x`:

`1.25 * 1 = 0.375 * x\\ 1.25 = 0.375x\\ 3 (1)/(3) = x`

Therefore, the unit rate is
`(3(1)/(3) )/(1)`

Now, do the same with the other problem, and the unit rate is
`(1(4)/(5) )/(1)`

Have a terrificly amazing day!!!
