Tanya is training a turtle for a turtle race. For every 2/3 of an hour that the turtle is crawling, he can travel 1/25 of a mile. At what unit rate is the turtle crawling?

3/50 of a mile per hour

A unit rate in this problem is 1 hour. The easiest way I see to do this is to multiply both sides of the rate by 3, getting that the turtle can go 3/25 of a mile every 2 hours, then dividing by two, getting that the turtle can go 3/50 of a mile each hour.

Hope it helps <3
