Question

A machine covers 5/8 square foot in 1/4 hour. what is the unit rate?

Answer 1

2/5

Step-by-step explanation: multiply then break down the fraction

Answer 2

we know that

Unit Rate is the ratio of two measurements in which the second term is one

so

to find the unit rate divide
`(5/8)` by
`(1/4)`

`Unit\ rate=((5/8))/((1/4))= (5)/(8)*4= (2.5)/(1) =2.5 (ft^(2))/(hour)`

therefore

the answer is

The unit rate is
`2.5 (ft^(2))/(hour)`
