Find the unit rate.
Kenny reads
3/8 page in 2/5 minute.
Kenny's unit rate is
rate=amount/time= (3/8)/(2/5) pages/min = 3*5/8*2=15/16 page/minute
15/16 pages per minute
Kenny's unit rate is...drumroll please...3/8 pages in 2/5 minutes. So, if we simplify it a bit, Kenny reads approximately 0.375 pages per minute. But let's be honest, Kenny seems like a slow reader. Maybe he should try reading some lighter material, like comic books or limericks!
To find the unit rate, you need to divide the quantity being measured by the unit of time. In this case, the quantity being measured is the number of pages (3/8), and the unit of time is in minutes (2/5).
To find the unit rate, divide the number of pages (3/8) by the number of minutes (2/5):
(3/8) ÷ (2/5)
To divide fractions, you can multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction:
(3/8) × (5/2)
Multiply the numerators together and the denominators together:
(3 × 5) / (8 × 2)
Simplify the fraction:
15/16
Therefore, Kenny's unit rate is 15/16 page per minute.
