Use units to guide multi-step problem solving and choose/interpret units, scales, and graph origins.

Interpret a compound unit rate

Problem

Interpret \(60~\text{miles}~\text{per}~\text{hour}\).

Big Picture

What this problem is really about

Read the word “per” as division: the first quantity belongs in the numerator and the second in the denominator. A unit rate then normalizes that denominator to one unit, so the statement tells how much of the numerator quantity occurs for each single denominator unit.
