Answer: 3,000 balls per hour

Explanation:

Given: The number of plastic balls manufactured by a machine = 24,000

Time taken to manufacture 24,000 plastic balls = 8 hours

To calculate the unit rate , we divide the number of plastic balls by the amount of time taken to produce it, we get


\text{Unit rate}=\frac{\text{Number of plastic balls}}{\text{Time}}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{Unit rate}=(24,000)/(8)\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{Unit rate}=3,000\text{balls per hour}
