Answer:
5 5/8 miles per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
Martin can run 3 ¾ miles in 2/3 of an hour. Write a unit rate to describe the situation and explain the context.
We are asked to write the unit rate , this means we are to find out how many miles he can run per hour
Hence,
2/3 hour = 3 3/4 miles
1 hour = x
Cross Multiply
2/3 hour × x = 3 3/4 miles × 1 hour
x = 3 3/4 miles × 1 hour/ 2/3 hour
x = 3 3/4 ÷ 2/3
x = 15/4 ÷ 2/3
x = 15/4 × 3/2
x = 45/8
x = 5 5/8 miles per hour
