Jason watched a caterpillar move 10 feet in 2 minutes. Jason says the caterpillars unit rate is 0.2 feet per minute. Is Jason correct? Explain.

I believe that Jason is correct because:
If you have 2 minutes/10 feet=x/1
10/10=1
2/10=0.2

If you have 10 feet/2 minutes
2/2=1
10/2=5
Then 10 x1=10
2x5=10
5/1=1/1=1 and 5/1=0.2

0.2 as a fraction would be in 1 minute the caterpillar would move 5 feet or 0.2 feet per minute.

Can you tell me if I am correct on this?

Thank you

To me, if it moves "10 feet in 2 minutes," then it would move 5 feet in one minute.

5 ft ≠ .2 ft

it is 5 feet because 10 divided by 2 is 5

No because no

Yes, you are correct!

To determine the unit rate, you need to divide the distance (in this case, 10 feet) by the time it takes (2 minutes). In other words, you calculated the rate as 10 feet per 2 minutes.

Then you simplified the fraction by dividing both the numerator (10 feet) and the denominator (2 minutes) by 10, which gives you 1 foot per 0.2 minutes.

So, Jason is correct in saying that the caterpillar's unit rate is 0.2 feet per minute.

This is hard
