Find the unit rate. Kenny reads 4/9 page in 3/5 minute. Kenny's unit rate is _________

WendyMorales2007:

In which P is the number of pages and is the number of minutes.

Angle:

You want a fraction where the page is in the numerator and minutes is in the denominator. In terms of what math to do: this means you should do: 4/9 divided by 3/5

WendyMorales2007:

imma leave dis to the smart one...

LadyRavyRay:

I'm still confused?

Angle:

\(\huge\frac{4}{9} \div \frac{3}{5}\)

WendyMorales2007:

so just divide, and there's your answer!

Angle:

many teachers teach people to do something called "Keep Change Flip" when dividing fractions

Angle:

Doing "Keep Change Flip" changes your division problem into a multiplication problem which is easier to think about

Angle:

let me know if you are still stuck

LadyRavyRay:

I got the answer! It's 20/27, right?!

Angle:
