Explanation:

Eric takes a train to his parent’s house 320 miles away.

If the trip takes 4 hours.

A train covers 320 miles in 4 hours.

The unit rate of train is number of miles cover in 1 hour.

Using formula:

`Rate=(distance)/(time)`

Time = 4 hours

`Rate =(320)/(4)`

`Rate = 80\text{ mph}`

Hence, The unit rate of train is 80 miles per hour.
