Question

Wayne plays multiple instruments in rock band. He also composes the songs. He takes 36 weeks to write the songs for an album of 12 songs. If you assume he takes an equal amount of time to compose each song and graph this relationship with the number of songs weeks on the x axis and the number of songs on the y axis what is Wayne’s unit rate for composing a song?

Answer 1

To find Wayne's unit rate for composing a song, we can calculate the number of songs composed per week.

Given:
Number of weeks = 36
Number of songs = 12

To find the unit rate, we divide the total number of songs by the total number of weeks:

Unit rate = Number of songs / Number of weeks

Substituting the given values:
Unit rate = 12 songs / 36 weeks

Simplifying:
Unit rate = 1 song / 3 weeks

Therefore, Wayne's unit rate for composing a song is 1 song every 3 weeks.
