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?
To find the unit rate of minutes, we need to divide the total number of minutes by the total number of miles.
Total minutes ÷ Total miles = Unit rate of minutes
So, 84 minutes ÷ 7 miles = <<84/7=12>>12 minutes.
Therefore, the unit rate of minutes is 12 minutes.
To find the unit rate of minutes, we need to divide the total number of minutes by the total distance covered.
Total number of minutes = 84 minutes
Total distance covered = 7 miles
Unit rate of minutes = Total number of minutes / Total distance covered
= 84 minutes / 7 miles
To simplify the calculation, let's convert the total number of minutes to hours.
1 hour = 60 minutes
Total number of minutes = 84 minutes
Total number of hours = 84 minutes / 60 minutes/hour
= 1.4 hours
Now we can calculate the unit rate of minutes.
Unit rate of minutes = Total number of minutes / Total distance covered
= 1.4 hours / 7 miles
= 0.2 hours/mile
Therefore, the unit rate of minutes is 0.2 hours per mile.
To find the unit rate of minutes, we need to calculate how many minutes it takes Oscar to run one mile.
First, identify the given values:
- Distance covered: 7 miles
- Time taken: 84 minutes
To find the unit rate, we divide the total time by the total distance:
Unit rate = Total time / Total distance
In this case, the unit rate of minutes can be calculated as:
Unit rate = 84 minutes / 7 miles
To simplify the calculation, we divide both terms by their greatest common divisor (GCD). In this case, both 84 and 7 are divisible by 7:
Unit rate = (84 minutes / 7 miles) / (7 miles / 7 miles)
= (84 minutes / 7 miles) / 1
= 12 minutes / 1 mile
Therefore, the unit rate of minutes for Oscar's running speed is 12 minutes per mile.
