Question

What is 2 1/2 miles in 3/4 hour as a unit rate

Answer 1

`3(1)/(3)` miles in 1 hour

Explanation:

1. 3/4 hour = 3/4 of 60 = 45
2. 
   `2(1)/(2) = (5)/(2) = 2.5`
3. Set up a proportion:
   `(2.5)/(45) = (x)/(60)`
4. Cross multiply, then divide: 2.5 × 60 = 150, 150 ÷ 45 =
   `3(1)/(3)`

I hope this helps!
