Answer:

5 messages/minute

Explanation:

If John sent 45 text messages in 9 minuites, the unit rate will be the amount of text messages sent in a minute

This can be expressed as;

45 text messages = 9minutes

x = 1 minute

where x is the unit rate

Cross multiply

9x = 45 * 1

9x = 45

x = 45/9

x = 5 messages/minute

Hence the unit rate is 5 messages/minute
