Question

Jen picked 3/4 of a gallon of strawberries in half an hour.If she keeps picking strawberries at the same time, how many gallons will she have picked in 2 hours?

Answer 1

Number of gallons of strawberries will she have picked in 2 hours is, 3

Explanation:

Unit rate defined as the rate are expressed as a quantity of 1, such as 4 feet per second or 6 miles per hour, they are called unit rates.

Given the statement: Jen picked 3/4 of a gallon of strawberries in half an hour.

⇒ In
`(1)/(2)` hour Jen picked
`(3)/(4)` gallon of strawberries.

Unit rate per hour =
`((3)/(4) )/((1)/(2)) =(3)/(4) * (2)/(1) = (6)/(4) = (3)/(2)`

To find the number of gallons will she have picked in 2 hours.

`Number of gallons = unit rate per hours * 2`

=
`(3)/(2) * 2 = 3`

Therefore, the number of gallons will she have picked in 2 hours is, 3
