Answer 1

4 miles per hour

Explanation:

Answer 2

4 miles/hour

Explanation:

We are given that

Chris jogged total distance=
`(1)/(3)` mile

Chris takes time=
`(1)/(12)` hours

We have to find the unit rate .

To find the unit rate we will divide the distance by time.

Unit rate=
`(distance)/(time)`

By using this formula

Unit rate=
`((1)/(3))/((1)/(12))` mile/hour

Unit rate=
`(1)/(3)* 12` mile/hour

Unit rate=4 miles/hour

Hence, the unit rate =4 miles/hour
