Sarah rode her bike 2/1/2 miles in 1/6 of an hour. What is her unit rate in miles per hour?

Answer:

15 miles

Convert all of the mixed fractions to improper fractions, and since this is unit rate, the denominator that'll be equivalent to the first fraction will be 1.


(5)/(2)/(1)/(6) = x/ 1

1 x 5/2 is 5/2

5/2 divided by 1/6 is 30/2 = 15

Hope it helps!

15 miles per hour is the answer because 2/1/2 divided by 1/6 is 15
