Answer 2

`\huge\textbf{Hey there!}`

`\large\textbf{Your formula: }\large\boxed{\mathsf{Unit\ rate = (Number\ of\ words)/(Number\ of\ minutes)}}`

`\mathsf{Equation: \boxed{\mathsf{unit\ rate = (230)/(5)}}}`

`\mathsf{Convert\ to: \boxed{\mathsf{unit\ rate = (230 \ words)/(5\ minutes)}}}`

`\textsf{SIMPLIFY IT!}`

`\boxed{\mathsf{Unit\ rate = (230/5)/(5/5)}}`

`\boxed{\mathsf{Unit\ rate = (46)/(1)}}`

`\boxed{\mathsf{Unit\ rate = 46/1}}`

`\boxed{\mathsf{Unit\ rate = 46}}`

`\huge\textbf{Therefore, your answer should be: \boxed{\mathsf{46}}}\huge\checkmark`
