Answer 2

Answer: 2 lawns per hour.

Explanation:

Given : Number of lawns = 14

Hours taken to mow 14 lawns = 7 hours

The rate is the ratio of two quantities with different units.

Here, rate of mowing= 14 lawn per 7 hours.

Rate are generally expressed as unit rates (ratio of two quantities in which second term is 1).

Now, The unit rate is given by :-

`\text{Unit rate}=\frac{\text{Number of lawns}}{\text{Number of hours taken to mow them}}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{Unit rate}=(14)/(7)\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{Unit rate}=2\text{ lawn per hour}`

Therefore , the unit rate = 2 lawns per hour.
