Unit rate is (number of pages)/(number of minutes)
  • Number of pages = 4/9
  • Number of minutes = 3/5
 
So Unit Rate = (4/9)/(3/5)
 
Dividing by a fraction (3/5) is the same as multiplying by the fraction's reciprocal, which is 5/3.  So:
 
Unit Rate = (4/9)/(3/5) = (4/9)(5/3) = 20/27 pages per minute
