A 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.Can u find the answer?

You are given  miles (1/4)  and time in hours (1/32) and you want  MPH  or  m/h

 

(1/4) / (1/32)  = 8 mph  or  8 m/h

Is it 1/4 of a mile in 1/32 of an hour? If so, then we have:

 

(1/4) / (1/32) = 1/4 x 32/1 =32/4 = 8 mph
