texaschic101 · Answer

look at what place value the 6 is in. It is in the tenths place...your 1 is on the left side of the decimal, so it is a whole number.
1 6/10 = 16/10 which reduces to 8/5 or 1 3/5

anonymous · Answer

8/5

anonymous · Answer

but that is not part of the answers

texaschic101 · Answer

1 6/10 = 1 3/5 = 8/5...they all equal

anonymous · Answer

texaschic101 · Answer

do you have answer choices ? Because 8/5 is an improper fraction and 1 3/5 is a mixed number fraction

anonymous · Answer

The Martinez family walked  three over five   of a mile in  three over eight  of an hour. What equation can be used to calculate their unit rate in miles per hour?

  three-fifths over three-eights equals   one and three-fifths  miles per hour
  three-eighths over three-fifths equals   one and three-fifths   miles per hour
  three-eighths over three-fifths equals  five over eight mile per hour
  three-fifths over three-eights equals      five over eight  mile per hour
