Question

Kate's new juicer can squeeze 3⁄4 of a pitcher of orange juice from 1/12 of a bag of oranges. Find the unit rate in pitchers per bag?

Answer 1

9 units per page

Step-by-step explanation: took the test on USATestPrep

Answer 2

The unit rate is
`9\ (pitchers)/(bag)`

Explanation:

we know that

To find out the unit rate in pitchers per bag, divide the total of pitchers of orange by the total bags of oranges

Let

x ----> the total of pitchers of oranges

y ----> the total bags of oranges

z ----> the unit rate in pitchers per bag

`z=(x)/(y)`

we have

`x=(3)/(4)`

`y=(1)/(12)`

substitute

`z=((3/4))/((1/12))`

`z=(36)/(4)`

`z=9\ (pitchers)/(bag)`
