It took Liam 15 minutes to ride his bike three miles. Convert this ratio into a unit rate by finding how long many minutes did he take to travel one mile
To convert the ratio into a unit rate, we need to find how long it took Liam to travel one mile.
We can set up a proportion to solve for the unit rate. Let x be the number of minutes it took Liam to travel one mile.
15 minutes/3 miles = x minutes/1 mile
15/3 = x/1
5 = x
Therefore, Liam took 5 minutes to travel one mile.
