Answer:

7 21/23 dollars per minute

Explanation:

Total amount Sarah earns = 45 1/2 dollars

Time taken to earn = 5 3/4 minutes

What is the unit rate in dollars per

minute?

unit rate in dollars per

minute = Total amount Sarah earns / Time taken to earn

= 45 1/2 ÷ 5 3/4

= 91/2 ÷ 23/4

= 91/2 × 4/23

= (91 * 4) / (2 * 23)

= 364/46

= 7 42/46

= 7 21/23 dollars per minute

unit rate in dollars per

minute = 7 21/23 dollars per minute
