A pump can pump 450 gallons from a pool in 5 min. What is the unit rate of the pump per min.?
I divided 450 by 5 and got 90
Is that correct?
Right. 90 gallons per minute
Thanks for checking my answer
You're welcome.
Yes, your calculation is correct. To find the unit rate, you divide the total amount (in this case, 450 gallons) by the total time (in this case, 5 minutes).
So, dividing 450 by 5, you get a unit rate of 90 gallons per minute. This means that the pump can pump 90 gallons of water from the pool in 1 minute.
