Answer:

The answer is 5 square feet per minute.

Explanation:

Since 1/3 of an hour is 20 minutes, it will look like 100 square feet/20 min.

To make 20 minutes into one minute, we have to divide it by 20.

Because we did it to the denominator, we also have to do the same thing to the numerator.

Divided 100 by 20, which gives you 5.

Hope this helps!!
