Question

Kevin mowed 12 lawns and earned a total of $60.

Which rate represents the amount of money earned per lawn?

Answer 1

$5

or

$5 / 1 lawn

Explanation:

The process is quite simple - especially since you already have half of the answer. The question says money per lawn. The creator of the problem gave away a lot of the answer. They already tell us the rate. Now all ou have to do is plug the numbers in:

Money per lawn

Money / lawns (The slash is used to represent per)

What is the money? $60. So plug that in:

$60 / lawns

How many lawns? 12. Plug that in:

$60 / 12 lawns

Now, all you have to do is either simplify the fraction or divide the denominator by the numerator - whichever one you prefer. In that case, the rate can be any of the following:

$5

$5 / 1 lawn

Hope this helps! Tell me if I am wrong!
