For every 1/2 mile that sira jogs,she walks 3/4 mile.What unit rate gives the number of miles sira jogs for every mile she walks?
If you compare ratio of the distance jogged to the distance walked, you get the ratio: 1/2 : 3/4
But, you want the comparison when the the distance walked is 1; so you want the second number to be 1.
To get 1 as the second number, multiply that number by its reciprocal, 4/3 because 3/4 x 4/3 = 1.
However, if you multiply the second number by 4/3, you must also multiply the first number by 4/3.
Doing this will give you the ratio that you want and the number of miles jogged per unit miles walked.
