Answer 2

Option 2 - 1 over 8 hour per mile.

Explanation:

Given : A biker traveled 24 miles in 3 hours. A unit rate to describe this would be 8 miles per hour.

To find : What is another unit rate in this situation?

Solution :

A biker traveled 24 miles in 3 hours.

A unit rate to describe this would be 8 miles per hour.

The another unit rate is just invert the first one.

i.e.
`8\text{ miles/hour}=(1)/(8)\text{ hour/miles}`

Which means it take
`(1)/(8)\text{ hour}` to travel 1 mile.

Therefore, The another unit rate in this situation is 1 over 8 hour per mile.

Hence, Option 2 is correct.
