To find Mrs. Henson's rate per hour, we can divide the number of chairs she can polish by the number of hours it takes her to do so.
Mrs. Henson can polish 11 chairs in 3 hours, so her rate per hour is 11 chairs / 3 hours.
This fraction can be simplified by finding the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 11 and 3, which is 1. Dividing both the numerator and denominator by the GCD, we get:
11/3 = (11 ÷ 1) / (3 ÷ 1) = 11/3
Thus, Mrs. Henson's rate per hour is 11/3.
