Answer 1

Complete question :

Selma uses a jogging trail that runs through a park near her home. The trail is a loop that is 3/4 of a mile long. On Monday, Selma ran the loop in 1/6 of an hour. What is Selma's unit rate in miles per hour for Monday's run?

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Length of trail = 3/4 of a mile.

Time taken = 1/6 of an hour

A) unit rate will be expressed in:

Length of trail = miles

Time taken. = hour

= miles per hour (mph)

B) Jogging rate :

Length of trail / time taken

3/4 miles ÷ 1/6 hour

3/4 * 6/1

18/4 = 4 2/4 = 4 1/2

Answer 2

Answer:

3/4/3/6  miles per hour
