Question

A runner runs 8 miles in 92 minutes what is the runner’s unit rate?

Answer 1

The runner's unit rate is 0.09 miles/minute.

Explanation:

Given:

Distance cover by runner = 8 miles and the time taken = 92 minutes.

Now, to calculate the runner's unit rate.

We put the formula to get the unit rate:

Velocity = distance/time

`v=(d)/(t)`

`v=(8)/(92)`

`v=0.0869`

v = 0.09 miles/minute (approximately)

Therefore, the runner's unit rate is 0.09 miles/minute.
