Answer:

3.5 ft^2/hr

Explanation:

The unit rate in this case is expressed as ft^2/hr. [For illustration, assume it is the rate at which paint is applied to a surface, for example].

(7/8 ft^2)/((1/4) hr)

(7/8 )/(1/4) ft^2/hr

(7*4)/(1*8) ft^2/hr

(28)/(8) ft^2/hr

(7)/(2) ft^2/hr

(7/2) ft^2/hr or 3.5 ft^2/hr
