Question

125 feet in 25 seconds what’s the unit rate?

Answer 1

The unit rate is 5 ft/1 second

Explanation:

Unit rates must always be a fraction with a denominator of 1

Our unit rate is 125/25

To get to a denominator of 1 divide 25 by 25

25 ÷ 25 = 1 second

What we do to one side we have to do to the other so also divide 125 by 25

125 ÷ 25 = 5 ft

Answer 2

Answer: 5 feet per second.

Work: This is a fraction equal to
125 Feet ÷ 25 Seconds

We want a unit rate where
1 is in the denominator,
so we divide top and bottom by 25

This makes 5 feet/1 second which makes the answer 5 feet!
