Uni rate for the exchange of dollars to euros is 0.75 euros/dollars.

$\implies$ To find the unit rate of exchange from dollars to euros, divide the amount of euros Monica received by the amount of dollars she paid:

$\largearrow{\sf{\boxd{\boxed{Unit \ change = (Number \ of \ euros \ you \got)/(Number \ of \ dollars \ you \ have) }}}}$

$\implies{\sf{Unit \ change = \frac{\cancel{450}}{\cancel{600}} }}$

$\implies{\sf{Unit \ change = 0.75 }}$

As a result, the unit rate for the exchange of dollars to euros is 0.75 euros/dollar.
