A sloth moves as fast as it can 60 inches of a tree branch in 20 seconds. What is the loft maximum speed as a unit rate in inches per second

Answer 1

To find the sloth's maximum speed as a unit rate in inches per second, we divide the distance traveled (60 inches) by the time taken (20 seconds).

Speed = Distance / Time

Speed = 60 inches / 20 seconds = 3 inches/second

Therefore, the sloth's maximum speed is 3 inches per second.
