Question

person runs 1 4 of a mile in 1 32 of an hour. Compute the unit rate by setting up a complex fraction and simplifying

Answer 1

A person  who runs 1/4 of a mile in 1/32 of an hour

unit rate is x miles in just one hours!

a fraction in numerator or in denominator is known as a complex fraction

now what we have to do is,

a=1/4

b=1/32

x=a*b

x=1/4*1/32

x= 8 miles

8 miles in an hours.

means we need to calculate total value of miles in an hour so that value is 8 miles!
