It takes Aimee 10 minutes to swim 4 laps find the unit rate, then use the unit rate to determine how long it would take Aimee to swim six laps

The unit rate is ( ?) laps per minute it would take (?) minutes for Aimee to swim six laps.

1 answer

To find the unit rate, we divide the number of laps by the number of minutes.

The unit rate is 4 laps / 10 minutes = 0.4 laps per minute.

To determine how long it would take Aimee to swim six laps, we multiply the number of laps by the reciprocal of the unit rate:

6 laps * (1 minute / 0.4 laps) = 15 minutes.

Thus, it would take Aimee 15 minutes to swim six laps.
