The correct response is 9 minutes/mile.
To convert the given ratio into a unit rate, we need to find how long it took Carla to run one mile.
To do this, we divide the time it took Carla to run the given distance by the number of miles.
Given that Carla took 36 minutes to run 4 miles, we divide 36 by 4:
36 minutes / 4 miles = 9 minutes/mile.
Therefore, the correct unit rate is 9 minutes/mile.
To convert the ratio into a unit rate, we divide the total time (36 minutes) by the number of miles (4).
So, Carla took 36 minutes ÷ 4 miles = 9 minutes/mile.
Therefore, the correct answer is 9 minutes/mile.
