586 gal of water for every 500 sq ft what is the unit rate in gallons per square foot
To find the unit rate of gallons per square foot, you need to divide the number of gallons by the number of square feet. In this case, it's 586 gallons for every 500 square feet.
\( \frac{586 \text{ gal}}{500 \text{ sq ft}} = 1.172 \text{ gal/sq ft} \)
So the unit rate is 1.172 gallons per square foot.
