A soccer team drank 4 gallons of Gatorade over 5 weeks. During this time period, at what rate did the team members during Gatorade? show your work
A 4/5 gallon per week
B 5/4 Gallons per week
C 1 gallon per week
D 9 gallons per week
To find the rate at which the soccer team drank Gatorade, we need to divide the total number of gallons consumed by the number of weeks.
Total gallons consumed: 4 gallons
Number of weeks: 5 weeks
Rate = Total gallons consumed / Number of weeks
Rate = 4 gallons / 5 weeks
Simplifying the fraction, we have:
Rate = (4/1) gallons / (5/1) weeks
Rate = 4/1 * 1/5
Rate = 4/5
Therefore, the rate at which the soccer team members drank Gatorade was 4/5 gallon per week. So, the correct option is A.
