To find the unit rate in this case, we need to determine how much fertilizer the person can cover per hour.
Given:
- The person covers 5/8 square foot in 1/4 hour.
To find the unit rate, which is the amount per hour, we need to convert the time to hours.
1/4 hour is equal to (1/4) * (1/1) = 1/4 hour.
Now that we have the time in hours, we can find the unit rate per hour.
To calculate the unit rate, divide the amount covered (5/8 square foot) by the time (1/4 hour):
(5/8 square foot) ÷ (1/4 hour)
To divide fractions, we invert the divisor (the second fraction) and multiply.
(5/8 square foot) * (4/1 hour)
Now we can multiply the fractions:
(5 * 4)/(8 * 1) = 20/8 square foot per hour
Simplifying the fraction, we have:
20/8 = 2.5 square feet per hour
Therefore, the unit rate is 2.5 square feet per hour.
