A sloth moves as fast as it can 60 inches up a tree branch in 20 seconds. What is the sloth’s maximum speed as a unit rate in inches per second?(1 point)
inches per second
To find the sloth's maximum speed as a unit rate in inches per second, we divide the distance (60 inches) by the time (20 seconds).
60 inches / 20 seconds = 3 inches per second
Therefore, the sloth's maximum speed is 3 inches per second.
