Question

Gabby worked 40 hours in 5 days. Determine the rate for a ratio of the two different quantities.

40 over 45 hours per day
5 over 40 hours per day
5 over 45 hours per day
40 over 5 hours per day

Answer 1

Answer:5 over 40 hours per day

Explanation:

Answer 2

The rate can be expressed as a ratio of two different quantities. In this case, we want to find the ratio of the number of hours worked by Gabby to the number of days she worked.

The number of hours Gabby worked is given as 40, and the number of days she worked is 5. Therefore, the rate can be expressed as:

40 hours / 5 days

This ratio simplifies to:

8 hours / day

So, the rate is 8 hours per day.

None of the options provided match this ratio. The closest option is 5 over 40 hours per day, but this does not simplify to 8 hours per day.
