An oval-shaped walking path at a local park is of a mile long. Four walkers recorded the number of laps they walked and the time it took them in the table below.

Match each walker with their corresponding unit rate in miles per hour.

answer:

The path is 3/4 of a mile long, and Amber walks 3 laps in 40 minutes. First we need to know how far she walked

3/4 * 3/1= 9/4 or 2.25miles

40 minutes is 2/3 of an hour, so we either set up a proportional equation or determine how far she walks in 1/3 of an hour and multiply that answer by 3.

2.25/x = 2/3

2x= 6.75

x= 3.375 miles/hour

other method:

2.25/2= 1.125 miles  (1/2 of 2/3)

1.125 *3= 3.375 miles/hour
