  8. Finding a Unit Rate 840 miles n miles 12 hours 1 hour (800 x 1) = (12 x n) 800 = 12n (800/12) = n n= 70 miles per hour (70:1, 70/1)

  9. Finding a Unit Rate (cont.) • Timothy worked as a cashier at a grocery store for 10 hours last Saturday. If he made $100 for the day, how much did he make per hour?
