Answer:

3/10 of the yard.

Explanation:

What we know:

Ryan can mow 3/5 of a yard in 2 hours.

What we need to know:

How much of the yard Ryan can mow in 1 hour, so the unit rate.

How do we do this:

It's simple if you think about it.

Just divide 3/5 by 2 (or multiply by 1/2)

3/5 * 1/2

3/(5*2)

3/10 of the yard can be mowed in one hour.
