write a rate that can be calculated from the given information. include the rate unit.
1. there are 40 cars parked in the 6 rows of that parking lot.
2. shante read 3 pages in 5 minutes.
3. latisha read 31\2 pages in 5 minutes.
To calculate the rate, we need to determine the amount of something per unit of something else. Let's calculate the rates for the given information:
1. Rate of cars parked: To find the rate of cars parked, we divide the number of cars by the number of rows.
Rate of cars parked = 40 cars / 6 rows = 6.67 cars per row
The rate unit is "cars per row."
2. Rate of pages read by Shante: We will divide the number of pages by the number of minutes.
Rate of pages read by Shante = 3 pages / 5 minutes = 0.6 pages per minute
The rate unit is "pages per minute."
3. Rate of pages read by Latisha: Similar to the previous calculation, we divide the number of pages by the number of minutes.
The fractional number 31/2 is equal to 3.5 in decimal form.
Rate of pages read by Latisha = 3.5 pages / 5 minutes = 0.7 pages per minute
The rate unit is also "pages per minute."
40 cars/6 rows = 6 2/3 cars per row
3/5 pages/minute
3.5/5 pages/minute
You do the divisions.
