Question

48 gallons in 14 minutes write rate as a fraction

Answer 1

To write the rate as a fraction, set up a proportion: 48 gallons / 14 minutes = x gallons / 1 minute. Cross-multiply and divide to solve for x: 48/14 = 24/7. The rate is 24/7 gallons per minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

To write the rate as a fraction, we need to set up a proportion.

We know that there are 48 gallons in 14 minutes. Let's represent the rate as x gallons per 1 minute.

So our proportion will be: 48 gallons / 14 minutes = x gallons / 1 minute.

To solve this proportion, we can cross-multiply and then divide. Cross-multiplying gives us: 48 * 1 = 14 * x.

Simplifying further, we get: 48 = 14x.

Dividing both sides by 14, we find that x = 48 / 14 = 24 / 7.

Therefore, the rate is 24/7 gallons per minute.

Answer 2

48gallons/14min
Then we divide 48/14

3.42 gallons/min

Unit rate The rate for one unit of given quantity is called a unit rate. These unit rates are again considered as one quantity. Examples are km/h which is derived for instance given that the distance is 10km and the time to be there is 5 hours hence what is the velocity. Which is v=d/t henceafter, 2km/h. Another example is pressure which is force divided by the area. 1 N/m2 which is 5 N times 5 m2, the pressure is 1 N/m2
