It took Liam 15 minutes to ride his bike 3 miles convert this ratio into a unit rate by finding how long many minutes did he take to travel 1 mile?

Answer 1

To find the unit rate, we need to divide the number of minutes taken by the number of miles traveled.

Liam took 15 minutes to travel 3 miles.

The unit rate is therefore 15 minutes/3 miles.

To find how long it took him to travel 1 mile, we divide the number of minutes by the number of miles:

15 minutes divided by 3 miles = 5 minutes/mile.

Therefore, Liam took 5 minutes to travel 1 mile.
