Answer:

The unit rate is 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Where m is the unit rate

[tex]Ratio = 4/7 : 8/21[/tex]

Express as fraction

[tex]Ratio = \frac{4/7 }{ 8/21}[/tex]

Solve

[tex]Ratio = \frac{4}{7} * \frac{21}{8}[/tex]

[tex]Ratio = 1.5[/tex]

Express as ratio

[tex]Ratio = 1.5 : 1[/tex]

Hence, the unit rate is 1.5
