Question

The flow rate of the gas pump at Bob's Gas Station is 2 3 of a gallon in 1 9 of a minute. Compute the unit rate from the complex fraction 2 3 1 9 gallons per minute?

Answer 1

6 gallons per min

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: Unit rate would be 6 gallons per minute.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Part of gallon =
`(2)/(3)`

Time taken of a minute =
`(1)/(9)`

We need to find the unit rate from the complex fraction i.e.

`((2)/(3))/((1)/(9))` gallons per minute

So, it becomes,

`(2)/(3)/ (1)/(9)\\\\=(2)/(3)* (9)/(1)\\\\=2* 3\\\\=6\ gallons/minute`

Hence, unit rate would be 6 gallons per minute.
