A school has a hurdle track that is 1/5 of a mile long. They are considering extending the track to be 1/4 of a mile long. The committee wants to know the unit rate of length in the longer track per mile of length in the shorter track to make sure they have enough hurdles for the longer track. What is the unit rate?
To find the unit rate, we need to divide the length of the longer track by the length of the shorter track. The length of the longer track is 1/4 of a mile, and the length of the shorter track is 1/5 of a mile. So, the unit rate is 1/4 รท 1/5 = 5/4 = <<5/4=1.25>>1.25.
Therefore, the unit rate of length in the longer track per mile of length in the shorter track is 1.25.
To find the unit rate of length in the longer track per mile of length in the shorter track, we need to divide the length of the longer track by the length of the shorter track.
Length of the shorter track = 1/5 mile
Length of the longer track = 1/4 mile
To find the unit rate, we divide the length of the longer track by the length of the shorter track:
Unit rate = Length of the longer track / Length of the shorter track
= (1/4) mile / (1/5) mile
To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction:
Unit rate = (1/4) mile * (5/1) mile
= 5/4 mile
Therefore, the unit rate of length in the longer track per mile of length in the shorter track is 5/4 mile.
To find the unit rate of length in the longer track per mile of length in the shorter track, we need to divide the length of the longer track by the length of the shorter track.
Length of the longer track = 1/4 mile
Length of the shorter track = 1/5 mile
Now, divide the length of the longer track by the length of the shorter track:
(1/4) / (1/5)
To divide fractions, we can multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
(1/4) * (5/1)
Multiply the numerators together and the denominators together:
(1*5) / (4*1) = 5/4
Therefore, the unit rate of length in the longer track per mile of length in the shorter track is 5/4.
