Mitchel ate 45 hotdog in 3 minutes at the annual hotdog
eating contest. What was Mitchel's unit rate?
The unit rate would be the number of hot dogs per minute. We can do this by setting up the proportion 45/3=x/1. X would be 15 hotdogs. So the unit rate was 15 hotdogs per minute.
He would eat 15 hotdogs per minute
To find the unit rate, we need to divide the total number of hotdogs ate by the time taken.
Unit rate = Total number of hotdogs / Time taken
In this case, Mitchel ate 45 hotdogs in 3 minutes.
Unit rate = 45 hotdogs / 3 minutes
Simplifying the expression, we get:
Unit rate = 15 hotdogs / 1 minute
Therefore, Mitchel's unit rate is 15 hotdogs per minute.
To find Mitchel's unit rate, we need to determine how many hotdogs he ate per minute.
First, we divide the total number of hotdogs (45) by the total number of minutes (3):
45 hotdogs ÷ 3 minutes = 15 hotdogs per minute
Therefore, Mitchel's unit rate is 15 hotdogs per minute.
