A sloth moves as fast as it can 60 inches up a tree branch in 20 seconds. What is the sloth's maximum speed as a unit rate in inches per second? (1 point)
To find the sloth's maximum speed as a unit rate, we need to divide the distance it travels by the time it takes. The distance traveled is 60 inches and the time taken is 20 seconds. Therefore, the sloth's maximum speed as a unit rate is 60 inches/20 seconds = 3 inches/second.
