Question

Martin uses 5/8 of a gallon of paint to cover 4/5 of a wall. What is the unit rate at which Martin paints in wall per gallon?

35/25
1 7/25
1/2
1 3/32

Answer 1

Since your answer needs to be in walls per gallon I would assume you divide 4/5 by 5/8 since that would tell you how many walls he can paint in an hour.

4/5 walls÷5/8 gallons=1.28walls/gallon.
