Question

write the comparison below as a unit rate and round to the nearest whole number: 600 milligrams in 24 hours 25:1 24 25 25 milligrams per 1 hour

Explanation:

Step1: Define unit rate

A unit rate is a rate with a denominator of 1, representing the amount per 1 unit of time (here, per 1 hour). To find the unit rate for 600 milligrams in 24 hours, we divide the total milligrams by the total hours.

Step2: Calculate the unit rate

We calculate $\frac{600}{24}$.
$600 \div 24 = 25$. So the unit rate is 25 milligrams per 1 hour (or 25:1 in rate form, but the option with the correct description including units and the value is "25 milligrams per 1 hour" as it properly represents the unit rate with the quantity and per - unit time). Also, the numerical value when rounded (it's already a whole number here) is 25, and the unit rate description matches "25 milligrams per 1 hour".

Answer:

25 milligrams per 1 hour
