Question

I need to find the rate and unit rate of 480 hours of work in 12 weeks

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation

To help understand the question we need an example.

A unit rate means a rate for one of something. We write this as a ratio with a denominator of one. For example, if you ran 70 yards in 10 seconds, you ran on average 7 yards in 1 second. Both of the ratios, 70 yards in 10 seconds and 7 yards in 1 second, are rates, but the 7 yards in 1 second is a unit rate.

Using the above idea we case say that;

The rate is

Answer

`(480)/(12)=40\text{hours i}n\text{ 1 w}eek`

Similarly, the unit rate will be

`40\text{ hours in 1 w}eek`
