Marneshia walked three over eight of a mile in three over five of an hour. What equation can be used to calculate her unit rate in miles per hour?

Respuesta :

We have an equation: (3/8 mile)/ (3/5 hour)= ?
⇒ ?= 3/8* (5/3) mile/hour= 5/8 mile/hour.

Final answer: 5/8 mile/hour~

An equation which can be used to calculate her unit rate in miles per hour is equal to [tex]Unit\;rate = \frac{Distance}{Time}[/tex].

Given the following data:

  • Distance = [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex] mile
  • Time = [tex]\frac{3}{5\\ }[/tex] hour

To write an equation which can be used to calculate her unit rate in miles per hour:

A unit rate in miles per hour would be calculated by dividing the total distance she walked by the number of time it took her.

Mathematically, this is given by the equation:

[tex]Unit\;rate = \frac{Distance}{Time}[/tex]

Substituting the given parameters into the equation, we have;

[tex]Unit\;rate = \frac{\frac{3}{8}}{\frac{3}{5}}\\\\Unit\;rate = \frac{3}{8} \times \frac{5}{3}\\\\Unit\;rate = \frac{5}{3} \;miles \;per \;hour[/tex]
