Answer:
48 inches
or
0.8 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the unit rate of inches per hour, divide 144 by 3.
144÷3=48
You don't need to round because there are no decimals.
To find the time to braid 1 inch, first multiply 3 by 60 (because there are 60 minutes in 1 hour).
3×60=180
Then divide 144 by 180.
144÷180= 0.8
You don't need to round because there are no thousandths.
