Answer:
The unit rate is 1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]Ratio = 4/7 : 8/21[/tex]
Required
Determine the unit rate
To do this, we need to express the ratio as:
[tex]Ratio = m : 1[/tex]
Where m is the unit rate
[tex]Ratio = 4/7 : 8/21[/tex]
Express as fraction
[tex]Ratio = \frac{4/7 }{ 8/21}[/tex]
Solve
[tex]Ratio = \frac{4}{7} * \frac{21}{8}[/tex]
[tex]Ratio = 1.5[/tex]
Express as ratio
[tex]Ratio = 1.5 : 1[/tex]
Hence, the unit rate is 1.5
