After 3/4 of a minute a sloth has moved 3/8 of a foot. What is the sloths speed in feet per minute

Question

How to find the unit rate

Answer 1

In a quarter of a minute the sloth has moved a third of the distance which is a third of three eighths=one eighth of a foot. One eighth of a foot in one quarter of a minute means 4 eighths of a foot in one minute. 4 eighths is 4/8 which is one half. So the speed is half a foot per minute.
