What is the unit rate of 2 2/3in 5 minutes

Answer 1

Hello, thank you for taking the time to post your question!

For the unit rate you want to determine how many inches are covered per minute … so that means dividing

2_2/3 / 5

I would start by converting the 2_2/3 over into an improper fraction of 8/3

Then when you divide by 5 you should get the final rate of

(8/3) / 5 = 8/15 inches per minute

I hope that helps get you moving in the right direction! Feel free to reach out if you have any additional questions beyond that :)

Answer 2

you can use a complex fraction to find the unit rate; so 2 2/3 = 8/3

and then divide 8/3 by 5/1 which is by using keep change and flip method the result would be 8/15 per 1 min.
