Answer 3

Hey Jbaez :)

Let me give you an example and hopefully it will help you determine the solution to your question.

Answer 4

If I drove my car `120 miles` in `2 hours`,
that doesn't tell us a `unit rate`.

We would like to know what speed I was averaging `per hour`.
So if I was going 120 miles in 2 hours,
Then I was going 60 miles in 1 hour.

We would write this as \(\Large\rm 60mph\) <--- 60 miles per hour.
Or `60 miles` per `1 hour`.

This is a `unit rate` because the hours are written in terms of `1 hour`.
