The unit rate from the complex fraction ¹/₃ ÷ ¹/₁₂ is 4 miles per hour
Order of Operations in Mathematics follow this following rule :
This rule is known as the PEMDAS method.
In working on a mathematical problem, we first calculate operation that is in parentheses, follow by exponentiation, then multiplication or division, and finally addition or subtraction.
Let us tackle the problem!

We will calculate the fraction by using this following formula:
[tex]\texttt{Speed of Chris} = \texttt{Distance} \div \texttt{Time Taken}[/tex]
[tex]\texttt{Speed of Chris} = \frac{1}{3} \texttt{ miles} \div \frac{1}{12}\texttt{ hour}[/tex]
[tex]\texttt{Speed of Chris} = (\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{12}{1}) \texttt{ miles per hour}[/tex]
[tex]\texttt{Speed of Chris} = (\frac{12}{3}) \texttt{ miles per hour}[/tex]
[tex]\texttt{Speed of Chris} = 4 \texttt{ miles per hour}[/tex]

The unit rate from the complex fraction ¹/₃ ÷ ¹/₁₂ is 4 miles per hour
