To convert the given ratio into a unit rate, we need to find how long Liam took to travel one mile.
Given information:
- Liam took 15 minutes to ride three miles.
To find the unit rate, we divide the total time taken (15 minutes) by the total distance traveled (3 miles):
15 minutes ÷ 3 miles = 5 minutes/mile.
Therefore, Liam took 5 minutes to travel one mile.
So, the correct answer is: 5 minutes/mile.
To convert this ratio into a unit rate, we need to find how long it took Liam to travel one mile. The original ratio is 15 minutes/3 miles.
To find the unit rate, we divide the number of minutes by the number of miles: 15 minutes ÷ 3 miles = 5 minutes/mile.
Therefore, Liam took 5 minutes to travel one mile.
