To find the unit rate, we need to divide the amount of work done by the time it took to complete the work. In this case, the amount of work done is 40 math problems, and the time it took to complete the work is 32 minutes.

The formula for unit rate is:
Unit rate = amount of work done / time

So in this case, the unit rate is:
Unit rate = 40 problems / 32 minutes

So the unit rate is 1.25 problems per minute.

This means that for every 1 minute, Clara completes 1.25 math problems.

Answer:

Varies, see below

Explanation:

We need to find the number of math problems per minute. To do that, we divide 40/32 to find that she completes 1.25 problems per minute.

Or, on the flippity flop, we can find the number of minutes per math problem. So we would do 32/40 to get 0.8 minutes per math problem.

Choose the one according to your needs.
