Answer:

1: B

2: A

3: D

4: C

Explanation:

In order to find the unit rate you have to divide the first number by the second number. You divide the first number because it is the gallons you are trying to find PER minute. In this case you are dealing with fractions which means you have to multiply the first number by the reciprocal of the second number.

Example 1:

3/4 ÷ 1/2

3/4 x 2/1

= 3/2

= 1 1/2

Example 2:

1 1/2 ÷ 1/2

3/2 ÷ 1/2

3/2 x 2/1

= 6/2

= 3
