Answer 1

To convert the ratio of 15 minutes for 3 miles into a unit rate for 1 mile, you would do the following:

Divide the time (15 minutes) by the number of miles (3 miles):

15 minutes ÷ 3 miles = 5 minutes/mile

Therefore, the unit rate is:

5 minutes/mile

The correct answer is:

5 minutes/mile
