Question

Washing 24 cars in four hours what is the Relationship as a rate

Answer 1

6 cars per hour

Explanation:

The rate can be expressed several ways. One of them is "cars per hour". To find that rate, divide cars by hours:

(24 cars)/(4 hours) = 6 cars/hour

__

If 6 cars were washed in 60 minutes, another way to express the rate is ...

(60 minutes)/(6 cars) = 10 minutes/car

When you ask "what is the rate?", you need to be specific as to the rate you're interested in. Different expressions of the rate are useful for different purposes.
