We have a unit rate that we can calculate as:


\frac{5\text{ hours}}{8\text{ portraits}}=(5)/(8)\text{ hours per portrait}

We can express this rate in different ways:

The artist takes 5/8 hours to make a portrait.

The artist makes 8/5 portraits per hour (if we calculate the unit rate in inverse form)

Then, comparing these statements to the ones in the list, the ones that are true are:

Option f: "each portrait took 5/8 of an hour to draw", and

Option a: "the artist drew 8/5 portraits per hour"

Answer:

Option f: "each portrait took 5/8 of an hour to draw"

Option a: "the artist drew 8/5 portraits per hour"
