128 shopping carts/ 15 minutes= 8 8/15 shopping carts/minute.

128 carts in 15 mins. We need to find the unit rate, which means how many carts per minute.

128/15 = 8.53 repeating 3

Now, we can't have a decimal, but we know how many WHOLE carts he can gather.

Answer: He gathers 8 carts every minute.
