Question

Trina's science club is building bluebird houses to put in the local park. For the first 1/6 dozen bird houses, Trina finds that they used 3/4 foot of wooden trim. Trina needs to buy enough wooden trim for one dozen bird houses . Write a unit rate that describes how much wooden trim Trina needs.

Answer 1

4.5 foot is needed for a unit dozen bird house

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Tina saw ¾ foot of wooden trim is being used for first 1/6 dozen bird houses

Therefore, we can write as,4

1/6 dozen = ¾ foot

For 1 dozen bird houses, we have to use the unitary method

1/6 dozen = ¾ foot

Therefore, 1 dozen or unit dozen =
`((3)/(4))/((1)/(6))`

1 dozen = ¾ * 6 =
`(9)/(2)` foot = 4.5 foot

Therefore, 4.5 foot is needed for a unit dozen bird house
