Hello There!!~

The units of per hours is = 4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Unit rate in miles per hour is the ratio of total distance covered in miles to total time taken in hour to cover that distance.

L = 3/4

Time taken to cover the loop on monday:-

T = 1/6 hours.

Unit rate in miles per hour :-

V = L/T

=> 3/4 ,1/6 =18/4

18/4 = 4 5

Hope This Helps!! :)
