2. Construct Arguments An ostrich runs 6 milesin 12 minutes at a constant speed. Explain howyou can use a unit rate to find how far theOstrich could run in 40 minutes. © MP3

Answer:At a constant speed of 0.5 miles per minute, the ostrich can run 20 miles in 40 minutes. The unit rate is 0.5 miles per minute.Step-by-step explanation:Distance run by the ostrich = 6 milesTime the ostrich takes to run this distance = 12 minutesSpeed of the ostrich = Distance / TimeSpeed of the ostrich = 6 miles / 12 minutes = 0.5 miles per minute How far the  ostrich could run in 40 minutes?If the ostrich run 0.5 miles per minute, this is the formula:Speed of the ostrich * 40 minutes = Distance0.5 miles/minute * 40 minutes = 20 miles (Minutes is simplified in the numerator and the denominator on the left side)At a constant speed of 0.5 miles per minute, the ostrich can run 20 miles in 40 minutes. The unit rate is 0.5 miles per minute.
