Answer:

60 miles per hour

Since d=rt, r = d/t = 420 miles/7 hours = 60 miles per hour

Explanation:

Answer:

1.6 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

The unit rate is the number of miles in 1 hour

given

distance= 4 miles

time= 2.5 hours

so if he hike 4 miles in 2.5 hours

then he will hike x mile in 1 hour

cross multiply we have

x=4/2.5

x=1.6 miles per hours

Therefore the unit rate is 1.6 miles per hour
