Question

A certain blueprint shows two fences. Fence A is 1 1/5 yard long but is 1 4/5 inches long on the blueprint? What is the unit rate for inches per yard on blueprint.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the unit rate for inches per yard

What we have to do here as stated in terms of unit is to divide the measurement in inches by the measurement in yard

We simply have to divide both fractions

We have this as:

`\begin{gathered} 1(4)/(5)\text{ divided by 1}(1)/(5) \\ =\text{ }(9)/(5)*(5)/(6)\text{ = }(9)/(6)\text{ = }(3)/(2)\text{ = 1.5} \end{gathered}`

The unit rate is 1.5 inches per yard
