Question

A group of workers can plant  334  acres in  118  days. What is the unit rate in acres per day? Write your answer as a fraction or a mixed number in simplest form.

Answer 1

`\text{Unit rate in acres per day is }2(53)/(57)`

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of acres = 334

Number of days = 118 days

unit rate = Number of acres/Number of days

Unit rate = 334 acres/114 days

2 is common to both numerator and denominator

Divide both by 2:

Unit rate = 167/57

No other number asides 1 is common to both the numerator and denominator

Hence, the unit rate in acres per day is 167/57

In mixed fraction = 2 53/57
