The glacier has moved 2 over 3 of a meter in 3 over 4 of a day.
Distance moved by glacier = 2 over 3 = 2/3 m
Duration in which 2/3 distance was moved = 3 over 4 of a day = 3/4 day
So we have to find unit rate in meter(s)/day.
Unit rate can be found by dividing distance moved by duration in which the distance was moved.
So finding unit rate:
[tex] Unit rate =\frac{distance moved}{duration} [/tex]
We are given distance moved 2/3 and duration as 3/4.
Plugging these values in the formula for unit rate,
[tex] Unit rate =\frac{2/3}{3/4} [/tex]
In division of fraction, we take reciprocal of second fraction and multiply it with the first.
[tex] Unit rate =\frac{2}{3} *\frac{4}{3} [/tex]
Unit rate = 8/9 m/day
Answer : Unit rate at which glacier is moving is (8/9) meters per day.
