Answer: 2 seconds is the unit rate.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Jason does 30 pushups in 60 seconds at a constant rate, and we know that each push up takes 2 seconds.

then, we can write this as 30 pushups/60 seconds = (1/2) pushups per second.

Here, two seconds represents the time needed to do one pushup, is the unit rate (this means that we need 2 seconds to have a unit "one pushup")
