Question

Every hour, Ben can read a book.
What is Ben's rate in books per hour?

Answer 1

Answer: Ben would read one book per hour or 1/1

Explanation:

The question said he could read a book every hour so the key words are "...read a book every hour." So the question asked books per hour so the ratio would be Books/Hour. Read a book every hour means 1 book every 1 hour so rewrite the equation as 1/1.
