Question

Do number 8 and 9 please

Answer 1

Solution (8):

Note that:

• 0.5 miles = 8.5 minutes

Finding out how much miles in 1 minute:

• 0.5 miles = 8.5 minutes
• => 0.5/8.5 = 1 minute
• => 1/17 miles = 1 minute

Hence, the unit rate in miles per minute is 1/17 miles per minute.

Solution (9):

Note that:

• 7/8 square yards = 1/20 hours

Finding, how much yards in 1 hour:

• 7/8 square yards = 1/20 hours
• => 7/8 x 20 square yards = 1/20 x 20 hour
• => 7/2 x 5 square yards = 1 hour
• => 35/2 yards² = 17.5 yards² = 1 hour

Hence, the unit rate in square yards per hour is 17.5 square yards per hour.
