Marco drove 75 miles in 1 2/3 hours. How many miles can he drive in 1 hour

Answer 1

To determine the number of miles Marco could drive in 1 hour (or the unit rate), you would

divide 75 by 1 2 . (Recall that 1 2 is equivalent to 5 )

3 3 3

75 ÷ 5 = 75 • 3 = 225 = 45 miles

3 5 5 1 hour

He could drive 45 miles in 1 hour.
