If you swim 2 miles in 40 minutes, what is the unit rate?

If you use distance=rate*time, then rate =distance/time
So 2mi/40min or simplifying to 1 mi per 20min
Can you convert this to mile per hour?

To convert the unit rate from miles per minute to miles per hour, you can use conversion factors.

Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, you can multiply the unit rate (1 mile per 20 minutes) by the conversion factor of 60 minutes per hour.

Here's the calculation:

1 mile per 20 minutes * (60 minutes per hour) = 3 miles per hour

Therefore, the unit rate for swimming 2 miles in 40 minutes is 3 miles per hour.

The rate is 3 miles per hour
