What is the unit rate in miles per hour if a rocket travels 22,500 miles in five hours?
A. 45,000 miles per hour
B. 4,500 miles per hour
C. 45 miles per hour
D. 450 miles per hour
The unit rate in miles per hour can be found by dividing the total distance (22,500 miles) by the total time (5 hours).
22,500 miles / 5 hours = <<22500/5=4500>>4500 miles per hour
The correct answer is B. 4,500 miles per hour.
To find the unit rate in miles per hour, divide the total distance traveled by the time taken.
In this case, the rocket travels 22,500 miles in 5 hours.
The unit rate can be calculated as follows:
Unit rate = Total distance / Time taken
Unit rate = 22,500 miles / 5 hours
Unit rate = 4,500 miles per hour
Therefore, the correct answer is option B. 4,500 miles per hour.
To find the unit rate in miles per hour, we need to divide the total distance traveled (22,500 miles) by the total time taken (5 hours).
The formula to find the unit rate is as follows:
Unit Rate = Total Distance ÷ Total Time
Plugging the given values into the formula, we get:
Unit Rate = 22,500 miles ÷ 5 hours
Now let's perform the calculation:
Unit Rate = 4,500 miles per hour
So, the correct answer is option B. 4,500 miles per hour.
