Question

A construction crew built 514 miles of road in 412 days. What is the unit rate in miles per day? Write your answer as a fraction or a mixed number in simplest form.

Answer 1

`R=(257)/(206)\ \text{miles/day}`

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance, d = 514 miles

Time, t = 412 days

We need to find the unit rate in miles per day. Its rate is given calculated by dividing distance and time as follows :

`R=\frac{514\ \text{miles}}{412\ \text{days}}\\\\R=(257)/(206)\ \text{miles/day}`

So, the unit rate is
`(257)/(206)\ \text{miles/day}`.
