The unit rate = 3 miles per inch.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Distance on map = $5\dfrac12$ inches $=\dfrac{11}{2}$ inches

Actual distance = $16\dfrac12$ miles $=\dfrac{33}{2}$ miles

That means 1 inch on map = $\dfrac{\dfrac{33}{2}}{\dfrac{11}{2}}\ miles$

$=\dfrac{33}{2}\ miles$

$=3\ miles$

Hence, the unit rate = 3 miles per inch.
