It took Liam 15 minutes to ride his bike three miles. Convert this ratio into a unit rate by finding how long many minutes did he take to travel one mile.(1 point) Responses 15 minutes/mile one-fifth minutes/mile 5 minutes/mile 5 minutes/mile 15 miles/minute one-fifth miles/minute 5 miles/minute

Answer 1

To find out how many minutes it took Liam to travel one mile, we can set up the unit rate based on the information given.

Liam took 15 minutes to ride 3 miles. To find the time per mile, we divide the total time by the number of miles:

\[ \text{Time per mile} = \frac{15 \text{ minutes}}{3 \text{ miles}} = 5 \text{ minutes per mile} \]

Therefore, the answer is 5 minutes/mile.
