Jeremy can row 1/3 of a mile in 1/4 of an hour. What is the unit rate?
\(Rate=\frac{distance}{time}\\\frac{\frac{1}{3}mile}{\frac{1}{4}hour}=\frac{1}{3}*(\frac{1}{4})^{-1}\\
\frac{1}{3}*\frac{4}{1}=\frac{4}{3}=1.333333...\)
So Jeremy can row 1.333 miles per hour.
Answer:
The unit rate that Jeremy can row is 1.33 miles per hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
Unit rate is defined as the distance over a time period. The distance that Jeremy can row is given and the time period is given.
The distance (miles) \(=1/3=0.33\)
The time period (hours) \(=1/4=0.25\)
The unit rate is distance per time:
\(=0.33/0.25=1.33\)
The unit rate that Jeremy can row is 1.33 miles per hour.
