A construction crew built 1/3 miles of road in 1/6 days

What is the unit rate in miles per day?

Write your answer in the simplest form.

2 miles per day

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the road built is 1/3 miles, so let's call L = 1/3

The time spent to build this length is 1/6 days, so let's call D = 1/6

To find the unit rate in miles per day, that is, the speed that this length of the road was built, we just need to divide L by D (speed is distance over time). Let's call the speed S:

S = D/T

S = (1/3) / (1/6)

S = (1/3) * 6

S = 2 miles per day
