we can take it as example, if a car travel with speed of  150 miles in 3 hours and how much distance it cover in 1 hour?

as we know that , Speed=distance/time

                                          =150/3 miles/hour

                                         =50 miles/ hour

now, we get the car travel 50 miles per hour. Here the word 'per' means for every hour or 1 hour.  50 miles/ hour is the average speed at which the car travels. 

 unit rate of 150 miles in 3 hours is 50 miles/hour .
