Alex mows a lawn that measures 800 square feet in

2 1/2 (Two and a half) hours. At this rate, how many square feet of lawn can Alex mow in 1 hour?

First thing we gotta do is find the unit rate:

800 divided by 2.5 = 320

And now your problem is complete! The unit rate or square foot per hour is 320 square feet per hour!

Hope this helps, if not, comment below please!!!
