Rachel enjoys exercising outdoors. Today she walked 5 2/3 miles in 2 2/3 hours. What is Rachel’s unit walking rate in miles per hour and in hours per mile?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Unit walking rate in miles per hour = 5 2/3 / 2 2/3 = 17/3 / 8/3 = 17/3 x 3/8 = 17/8 = 2 1/8 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rachel’s unit walking rate in miles per hour and in hours per mile will be 2.125 and 0.47, respectively.

What is speed?

The distance covered by the particle or the body in an hour is called speed. It is a scalar quantity. It is the ratio of distance to time.

We know that the speed formula

Speed = Distance/Time

Rachel enjoys exercising outdoors. Today she walked 5 2/3 miles in 2 2/3 hours.

The distance will be

D = 5 2/3

D = 17/3 miles

The time will be

T = 2 2/3

T = 8/3 hours

Then the speed of Rachel’s unit walking rate in miles per hour will be

S = (17/3) / (8/3)

S = 17 / 8

S = 2.125 miles per hour

And in hours per mile will be

⇒ 1/S

⇒ 1 / (17/8)

⇒ 8/17

⇒ 0.47 hours per mile
