Answer:
unit rate = 0.9 miles per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
Rate per hour of walking is calculate by = distance moved in miles/ time taken in miles
_________________________
given
distance = 3/5 of a mile = 3/5 miles
time = 40 minutes
we have to find time in hours
60 minutes = 1 hour
40 minutes = 1/60 *40 hours = 2/3 hours
thus
unit rate = (3/5 miles)/ (2/3 hours ) = (3*3)miles/(5*2) hour = 9/10 miles per hour
unit rate = 0.9 miles per hour
