Question

Find the unit rate. Enter your answer as a mixed number. A fertilizer covers 5/6 square foot in 1/2 hour

Answer 1

1.67square foot/hr

Explanation:

If a fertilizer covers 5/6 square foot in 1/2 hour, then;

5/6 square foot = 1/2 hour

To determine the unit rate, we will say;

x square foot = 1 hr

Divide both expressions

5/6x = 1/2

5 * 2 = 6x

10 = 6x

x = 10/6

x = 1.67square foot/hr

Hence the unit rate is 1.67square foot/hr
