Answer 1

`(3)/(4)\text{book/hour}`

Step-by-step explanation

We want to rewrite the given fraction as a unit rate:

`\frac{(1)/(4)\text{book}}{(1)/(3)\text{hour}}`

To do this, simplify the fraction:

`\begin{gathered} (1)/(4)/(1)/(3) \\ \Rightarrow(1)/(4)\cdot(3)/(1) \\ \Rightarrow(3)/(4)\text{book/hour} \end{gathered}`

That is the unit rate.
