anonymous · Answer

unit rate of speed is metres/ seconds

anonymous · Answer

what you have here is 20 miles/ 5 hours

anonymous · Answer

all you need to do is to keep multiplying 20 miles/ 5 hour with 1 until you get your desired unit

anonymous · Answer

let me show with a pic example

anonymous · Answer

cool

anonymous · Answer

here you go! are you confident to do the rest?

anonymous · Answer

yes thank you so much!!

anonymous · Answer

so #2 would be 42 gal/7 min

anonymous · Answer

every country has their own unit systems. Unit rate of volume is m^3/ s according to English system. This allows me to ask you... Where are you from?

anonymous · Answer

If you are from US where I think the unit rate of volume is gal, then the answer will be 6 gal/ min

anonymous · Answer

yes!

anonymous · Answer

you have to know what are the unit rates for length, time and mass. Also, you have to get the lowest fraction as answer. 1764 gal per 36 seconds is same as 42 gal per 6 seconds which is same as 7 gal per seconds. Much better to say 7 gal/ s (which is the simplest form)

anonymous · Answer
