Question

In 8 months, 55.6 gallons were used. Find the unit rate.

Answer 1

6.95 gallons in 1 month

Answer 2

6.95 gallons/month

Explanation:

We are given that In 8 months, 55.6 gallons were used

Amount used in 8 months = 55.6 gallons

We are supposed to find amount used per month i.e. unit rate

So, Amount used in 8 months = 55.6 gallons

Amount used in 1 month =
`(55.6)/(8)` gallons

Amount used in 1 month =
`6.95` gallons

So, 6.95 gallons were used in 1 month

Hence the unit rate is 6.95 gallons/month
