The unit rate of the car that travels 5 2/5 km in 2 3/4 mins is 1.96 km/min.

Distance travelled by a car = 5 2/5 km = 5.4 km

Time travelled = 2 3/4 mins = 2.75 mins

The unit rate in km/min = 5.4/2.75

The unit rate in km/min = 1.96 km/min.

Happy to help, have a great day! :)

Explanation:

To find the unit rate in kilometers per minute, we need to divide the distance traveled (52/2 kilometers) by the time taken (23/4 minutes).

52/2 kilometers = 26 kilometers

23/4 minutes = 5.75 minutes

So, the unit rate in kilometers per minute is:

26 kilometers / 5.75 minutes = 4.52 kilometers per minute (rounded to two decimal places)
