Unit rate is a rate with 1 in the denominator.

First of all, you have to figure out how much water a person should drink per 1 minute:

32 ÷ 60 = 0.53

(Unit rate will be 0.53/1)

Secondly, multiply 0.53 by 135:

0.53 x 135 = 72

Answer: Damon should drink 72  fluid ounces of water if he rides his bike for 135 minutes.
