Question

Express each rate as a unit rate. Round to the nearest hundredth if necessary.125 miles in 2 1/2 hours

Answer 1

The unit rate is;

`50\text{ mph}`

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that you travel 125 miles in 2 1/2 hours;

The rate is the number of miles traveled per hour;

`r=\frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}}`

Substituting the given values;

`\begin{gathered} r=(125)/(2.5) \\ r=50\text{ miles per hour} \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the unit rate is;

`50\text{ mph}`
