Question

A landscaper uses 6 yards of sod over 3 days during the summer. After 9 days, how many yards of sod will the landscaper use? Solve using unit rates.

Answer 1

18 yards

Explanation:

Rate = Total amount of sod used / Number of days = 6 yards / 3 days = 2 yards per day

sod used after 9 days by multiplying the rate (2 yards per day) by the number of days (9 days):

Amount of sod used = Rate * Number of days = 2 yards per day * 9 days = 18 yards

after 9 days, the landscaper will use 18 yards of sod
