Question

John determined that the unit rate for his trip to Orlando was 70 miles every 2 hours. Why is John's determination incorrect? Calculate the actual unit rate for his trip.

Answer 1

John's determination incorrect because he didn't give a unit rate which is miles per hour (mph).

The actual unit rate for his trip is v;

v = 70 miles ÷ 2 hours

v = 35 miles per hour

v = 35mph

Explanation:

John's determination incorrect because he didn't give a unit rate which is miles per hour (mph).

The actual unit rate for his trip is;
