Kevin mowed 6 lawns in 8 hours. What was his rate of mowing in hours per lawn? Express your answer in simplest form.
To find Kevin's rate of mowing in hours per lawn, you need to divide the total number of hours he spent mowing by the number of lawns he mowed.
In this case, Kevin mowed 6 lawns in 8 hours.
