The unit rate of the penny dropped is faster than the rocket.
How to find unit rate?
Unit rate is the ratio of two different units, with denominator as 1.
Therefore, rocket travelled 208 kilometres in 50 minutes at a constant rate and the penny dropped from a skyscraper could travel 153 kilometres in 1/2 hours at a constant rate.
The object that has the faster rate between the two can be found as follows:
50 minutes = 0.833333 hours
Rate of the rocket = 208 / 0.833333
Rate of the rocket = 249.60009984
Rate of the rocket = 249.60 km/hr
Rate of the penny dropped = 153 / 0.5
Rate of the penny dropped = 306 km/hr
Rate of the penny dropped = 306 km / hr
Therefore, the unit rate of the penny dropped is faster than the rocket.
