Question

A sailboat travels a distance of 2 1/2 miles in 1/6 of an hour. Which complex fraction represents the unit rate in miles per hour?

1/6 of an hour= 10 because 60mins=1hour & 60/6=10 so the sailboat travels 2 1/2 miles in 10 mins. So the complex fraction would be 2 &1/2 over 10. Hope it helps!
