Oscar is training to compete in a cross country meet at his school. In a week he runs a total of 7 miles in 84 minutes. What is the unit rate of minutes per mile?
To find the unit rate of minutes per mile, we divide the total number of minutes by the total number of miles.
84 minutes ÷ 7 miles = <<84/7=12>>12 minutes/mile
The unit rate of minutes per mile is 12 minutes/mile.
To find the unit rate of minutes per mile, divide the total number of minutes by the total number of miles.
So, the unit rate of minutes per mile is:
84 minutes ÷ 7 miles = 12 minutes per mile
To find the unit rate of minutes per mile, we need to divide the total number of minutes by the total number of miles.
The unit rate is the rate at which one quantity changes with respect to another. In this case, we want to find how many minutes it takes Oscar to run one mile.
So, to find the unit rate of minutes per mile, we divide the total number of minutes (84) by the total number of miles (7):
Unit rate of minutes per mile = 84 minutes ÷ 7 miles
To calculate this, we simply perform the division:
Unit rate of minutes per mile = 12 minutes per mile
Therefore, the unit rate of minutes per mile for Oscar is 12 minutes.
