 hour. Write this rate as a unit rate.

To find the unit rate, we need to express the bicyclist's speed in miles per hour. The cyclist rides \( \frac{1}{4} \) mile in \( \frac{1}{44} \) hour.

We can calculate the speed by dividing the distance (miles) by the time (hours):

\[
\text{Speed} = \frac{\frac{1}{4} \text{ mile}}{\frac{1}{44} \text{ hour}} = \frac{1}{4} \times \frac{44}{1} = \frac{44}{4} = 11 \text{ miles per hour}
\]

Thus, the unit rate is **11 miles per hour**.
