Albert walks 4/5 of a mile in 5/12 of an hour. Which expression can be used to calculate his unit rate in miles per hour.

3 answers

To find Albert's unit rate in miles per hour, we need to divide the distance he walks (in miles) by the time it takes him (in hours).

Albert walks \( \frac{4}{5} \) of a mile in \( \frac{5}{12} \) of an hour.

The unit rate can be calculated using the following expression:

\[ \text{Unit Rate} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}} = \frac{\frac{4}{5}}{\frac{5}{12}} \]

So, the expression you can use to calculate his unit rate in miles per hour is:

\[ \frac{\frac{4}{5}}{\frac{5}{12}} \]

Additionally, this can also be simplified as multiplying by the reciprocal:

\[ \frac{4}{5} \times \frac{12}{5} \]

Either expression will lead to the unit rate in miles per hour.

I cant understand what you're saying, stop using gitches and actually answer the questions in correct Grammer and not a bunch of slashes

I apologize for the confusion. Let's simplify the explanation without using slashes.

To calculate Albert's unit rate in miles per hour, we need to divide the distance he walks by the time it takes.

Albert walks 4/5 of a mile in 5/12 of an hour.

The formula to find the unit rate (miles per hour) is:

Unit Rate = Distance ÷ Time

In this case, the expression you can use to calculate his unit rate is:

Unit Rate = (4/5) ÷ (5/12)

You can also rewrite this as:

Unit Rate = (4/5) × (12/5)

This means you multiply the distance by the reciprocal of the time. Either way, you will find the unit rate in miles per hour. If you want further calculations, let me know!
