Question

Write a unit rate for each situation: 1) Juliet and Won drove 135 miles and used 6 gallons of gasoline. Find your car's gas mileage rate (miles per gallon).2) This week, Ravi worked 20 hours and earned $ 130. What is the rate of profit from him (dollars per hour).

Answer 1

In order to find the unit rate, we just need to divide the given values.

1)

To find the unit rate in miles per gallon, let's divide the number of miles by the number of gallons:

`(135)/(6)=22.5`

So the unit rate is 22.5 miles per gallon.

2)

To find the unit rate in dollars per hour, let's divide the amount of dollars by the amount of hours:

`(130)/(20)=6.5`

So the unit rate is 6.5 dollars per hour.
