How do u find the unit rate? pls explain it with 18 miles in 3 hours thx

Let's turn this into a fraction using the given information we already have.



We want the denominator, or the bottom part of the fraction, to be 1 in order for us to have a unit rate.

This fraction can be simplified if we divide both the numerator and denominator by 3.

Numerator: 18/3 = 6

Denominator: 3/3 = 1

Now we have



Any number divided by 1 is equal to that number.



Thus, your unit rate is 6 miles per hour.

Have an awesome day! :)
