Ron walks 0.5 mile on track on the track in 10 minutes. stevie walks 0.25 mile on the track in 6 minutes. find the unit rate for each walker in mile per hour. who is faster.

Ron walks 1/2 mile in 10 minutes. There are six 10 minute intervals in an hour 60 divided by 10 is 6. So, therefore he can walk 1 mile in 20 minutes, 1/3 of an hour and a total of 3 miles per hour.
3 x 20 = 60.

Stevie walks 1/4 of a mile in 6 minutes, so that's 12 minutes to walk 1/2 mile. 60/12=5
Stevie can walk 5 half miles which transfers to 2 1/2 miles per hour.
