If you would like to know what is the unit rate, you can calculate this using the following steps:

1 hour = 60 minutes

5/8 square foot ... 1/4 hour = 1/4 * 60 minutes = 15 minutes
x square foot = ? ... 1 minute

5/8 * 1 = 15 * x
5/8 = 15 * x /15
x = 5/8 / 15
x = 5/8 * 1/15
x = 1/24 = 0.04 square foot

The correct result would be 1/24 square foot per one minute.

1. 5/8 square foot in ¼ hour. Find the unit rate.
Since the given numbers are fraction, let’s convert these into decimals to be able to get the correct unit rate.
=> 5/8 = 0.625 or 0.63 square foot.
=> ¼ = 0.25 hour or 15 minutes.
=> 0.625
now, let’s show the unit rate of 5/8 square foot in ¼ hour.
=> 0.63 square feet / 15 minutes
Divide the square feet value by 15
=> 0.042 square feet / minute
