Question

5/4 square yards in 1/3 of an hour what is the unit rate

Answer 1

`3(3)/(4)\ (yd^2)/(h)`

or

`3.75\ (yd^2)/(h)`

Explanation:

we know that

To find out the unit rate, divide the total square yards by the total time in hours

so

`((5/4))/((1/3))=(15)/(4)\ (yd^2)/(h)`

Convert to mixed number

`(15)/(4)\ (yd^2)/(h)=(12)/(4)+(3)/(4)=3(3)/(4)\ (yd^2)/(h)`

or

`3.75\ (yd^2)/(h)`
