Question

what is 2 1/2 miles in 3/4 hour as a unit rate

Answer 1

Answer:

$3\frac{1}{3}$ miles in 1 hour

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 3/4 hour = 3/4 of 60 = 45
2. $2\frac{1}{2} = \frac{5}{2} = 2.5$
3. Set up a proportion: $\frac{2.5}{45} = \frac{x}{60}$  
4. Cross multiply, then divide: 2.5 × 60 = 150, 150 ÷ 45 = $3\frac{1}{3}$  

I hope this helps!
