Answer:


c = 60t

Explanation:

Unit rate defined as the rates are expressed as a quantity as 1 such as 2 meter per seconds or 5 miles per hour.

As per the statement:

A slush drink machine fills 1440 cups in 24 hours

By definition of unit rate;

Rate of filling:


\text{Unit rate per hour} = (1440)/(24)=60 cups

Here, c represents the number of cups filled in t hours.

then;

An equation we get;


c = 60t where t is the time in hours.

Therefore, an equation to find the number c of cups each symbol represents is,
c = 60t
