Answer:

3 squares/hour

Explanation:

We want a rate expressed in quares/hour. The only measurement we have is 3/4 of a square in 2/8 hour. The units are squares and hours, so divide the 3/4 square by 2/8 hour to get:

(3/4 square)/(2/8 hour)

(3/4)*(8/2) squares/hour

(24/8) squares/hour

3 squares/hour
