Answer:
Unit rates defined as the rates are expressed as the quantity 1 such as 3 miles per second or 5 kilometers per hour.
Given the statement: Four laps around the trail is a distance of 1 mile.
\(\text{Unit rate per mile} = \frac{\text{Number of laps}}{\text{Number of miles}}\)
substitute the given values we have;
\(\text{Unit rate per mile} = \frac{4}{1}\) = 4 laps
We have to find the how many laps does it take to walk 3/4 of a mile
By definition of unit rate:
Number of laps = \(\text{Unit rate per mile} \times \frac{3}{4}\)
=\(4 \times \frac{3}{4} = 3\)
Therefore, 3 laps does it take to walk 3/4 of a mile.
