Answer:
$40(4)/(5)\text{ ounces}$

Explanation:

Given : The amount of icing used for every
(1)/(4) of a cake =
$10(1)/(5)\text{ ounces}$

$=(51)/(5)\text{ ounces}$

To find the unit rate in ounces of icing per cake, we need to divide
(51)/(5) by
(1)/(4) , we get

The unit rate in ounces of icing per cake =
(51)/(5)/(1)/(4)

(51)/(5)*4=(204)/(5)=40(4)/(5)

Hence, the unit rate in ounces of icing per cake =
$40(4)/(5)\text{ ounces}$
