Answer:

About 1.5.

Explanation:

To find the answer, we must think about the length of time... 6 weeks. How many are built in that time? 4. So to find how many houses are built in one week, we should think about the process and number of houses. You can’t build one house each week, so you have to divide to find out how much you build in one week (basically the rate). So if you divide 6 by 4, you get 1.5.
