Question

Find the unit rate with the numbers 12 and one and one half

Answer 1

The value of the unit rate is 8

Explanation:

we know that

To calculate the unit rate simply divide the first number by the second number

so

`12:1(1)/(2)`

Convert mixed number to an improper fraction

`1(1)/(2)=1+(1)/(2)=(1*2+1)/(2)=(3)/(2)`

substitute in the expression above

`12:(3)/(2)=(24)/(3)=8`
