Answer:

5
(5)/(6) minutes = 5.83 minutes

or

5 minutes 50 seconds

Explanation:

Given: You have been cleaning diesel dispensers for 35 minutes. You have completed 6 dispensers.

Here we need to find the unit rate.

Here the unit rate represents time taken to clean 1 diesel dispensers.

Unit rate =
(time)/(The number of diesel dispensers)

=
(35)/(6)

= 5
(5)/(6) minutes

Now we can convert
(5)/(6)minutes to seconds

1 minute = 60 seconds


(5)/(6) minute = (5)/(6) *60

= 5*10 seconds

= 50 seconds

Therefore, to clean 1 diesel dispenser you need 5 minutes 50 seconds.
