The unit rate is 0.25 kilograms per year.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets define unit rate first

Unit rate is the change in quantity per unit time.

Given

Weight = w = 5 kg

Time = t = 20 years

So,

$Unit\ rate = \frac{weight}{time}\\=\frac{w}{t}\\= \frac{5}{20}\\= 0.25$

Hence,

The unit rate is 0.25 kilograms per year.

What is the value of the numerical expression 5/8 - 5/12 (3 -1/4) + 2/3 ?

nasty-shy [4]

$\dfrac{5}{8} - \dfrac{5}{12} ( 3 - \dfrac{1}{4} )+ \dfrac{2}{3}$

$= \dfrac{5}{8} - \dfrac{5}{12} (2\dfrac{3}{4} )+ \dfrac{2}{3}$

$= \dfrac{5}{8} - \dfrac{5}{12} (\dfrac{11}{4} )+ \dfrac{2}{3}$

$= \dfrac{5}{8} - \dfrac{55}{48}+ \dfrac{2}{3}$

$= \dfrac{30}{48} - \dfrac{55}{48}+ \dfrac{32}{48}$

$= \dfrac{7}{48}$
