Find the unit rate.
Kenny reads
5
8
page in
2
3
minute.
Kenny's unit rate is 5/16 page per minute
sorry.
(5/8 page) / (2/3 min) = 5/8 * 3/2 = 15/16 page/min
And lose all the extra new lines. Very annoying.
5/8 / 2/3 = 5/8 * 3/2 = 15/16 or 5/16.
To find the unit rate in this scenario, we need to divide the number of pages read by the time it took to read them.
In this case, Kenny read 5/8 of a page in 2/3 of a minute.
To calculate the unit rate, divide the number of pages read (5/8) by the time taken (2/3):
(5/8) ÷ (2/3)
To divide fractions, we can multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction:
(5/8) x (3/2)
Multiplying the numerators (5 x 3) gives us 15, and multiplying the denominators (8 x 2) gives us 16:
15/16
So, Kenny's unit rate is 15/16 page per minute.
