A rate is a special type of ratio that compares quantities with different kinds of units. A unit rate is a rate that has been reduced to have a denominator of 1 unit. We are given the following rate.
360milesin 6hours
Let's write this rate as a fraction.
360miles/6hours
To find the unit rate, we need to write an equivalent rate with a denominator of 1 hour. Let's ignore the units for simplicity.
