To find the unit rate, you need to divide the total number of deliveries by the total number of hours.
Here, you have 144 deliveries in 12 hours.
So, to find the deliveries per hour:
\[ \text{Deliveries per hour} = \frac{144 \text{ deliveries}}{12 \text{ hours}} = 12 \text{ deliveries per hour} \]
Therefore, the unit rate is 12 deliveries per hour.
