Jack rides his bike 4 miles in 1/3 of an hour. What is jack unit rate in miles per hour?

12 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

1/3 of an hour = 20 minutes = 4 miles

1 minute = 4/20 miles

60 minutes = 4/20 x 60 miles

                   = 4 x 3 miles

                   = 12 miles

60 minutes = 1 hour

=> 1 hour = 12 miles

Jacks unit rate is 12 miles/hr

12

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two ways of doing this problem. I think the easiest way is to use a decimal in the denominator and round

4/0.333333333 = 12.000000001

The answer is obviously meant to be 12.

The other way is more sophisticated, but more accurate.

4/1 // 1/3               This is a 4 tier fraction. The rule is to invert the denominator (turn the bottom fraction upside down) and multiply.

4/1 * 3/1 = 12

The first method is easier to understand. The second is more accurate and more useful for physics.
