Answer 1

Answer:

The unit rate is;

$50\text{ mph}$

Explanation:

Given that you travel 125 miles in 2 1/2 hours;

The rate is the number of miles traveled per hour;

$r=\frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}}$

Substituting the given values;

$\begin{gathered} r=\frac{125}{2.5} \\ r=50\text{ miles per hour} \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the unit rate is;

$50\text{ mph}$
