Question

Write a unit rate for the situation. Round to the nearest hundredth if necessary.

driving 140 mi in 2 h 45 min

1.33 mi/min

0.95 mi/min

0.57 mi/min

0.85 mi/min

Answer 1

first, look at the units of the rate you're trying to solve for

miles per minute

this means if you want to find the rate, yuo must first convert the distance completely into just miles

and you must convert the time completely into just minutes

Answer 2

140 mi is given as the distance, and it is already in miles, so you can leave it as is

2h 45 mins is not completely in minutes, so if you were to completely convert it into minutes, whats it the total amount of minutes in 2h 45mins?

Answer 3

1.33 mi/min?

Answer 4

i refuse to comment until my first question is answered

Answer 5

165

Answer 6

right, and to get rate, you divide the distance, by the total time

what is 140/165?

Answer 7

since the unit is mi/minute, you divide distance per time

Answer 8

i divided it on a calculator and got 0.848

Answer 9

convert "2 hours and 45 minutes" into just minutes, then divide 140mph by that sum, and you have your mpm (miles per minute)

Answer 10

does that help?

Answer 11

round 0.848 to the hundredth place

or which answer is closest to 0.848?

Answer 12
