Unit rate : Cost of paint per liter.

First change mixed fraction to fraction.

$2\frac{1}{2}=\dfrac{5}{2}$ liters of paint

Cost of $\dfrac{5}{2}$ liters of paint = $60

    Cost of $1$ liter of paint = $60\div\dfrac{5}{2}$

                                           = $24

Hence, The cost per liter of paint is $24
