Question

If someone eats 3 sundaes in 9 minutes what portion of a sundae can they eat in one minute

Answer 1

Number of sundaes eaten per minute = 3 sundaes

Explanation:

Number of sundaes eaten in 3 minutes = 9 Sundaes

So, by UNITARY METHOD:

Number of sundaes eaten in 1 minute =
`\frac{\textrm{Sundaes eaten in 9 minutes}}{\textrm{3 minutes}}`

=
`(9 )/(3 ) = 3`

So, number of sundaes eaten per minute = 3.
