my math question

Question

livia is driving to her cottage with her family. They drive 375 miles in 5 hours. what is the unit rate in miles/hours

Answer 1

Hi Saniyah!

To answer this question, it helps to look at the units. The answer we want is in miles per hour, which is the same as:

Miles ÷ 1 hour

We are given that Livia's family drove 375 miles in 5 hours. We know that dividing miles by hours gives us miles per hour, so we can do the following calculation:

375 miles ÷ 5 hours = 75 miles/hour

I hope this helps, feel free to ask follow up questions!
