A FERTILIZER COVERS 3/4 SQUARE FOOT IN 1/4 HOUR. WHAT IS THE UNIT RATE AT SQUARE FEET PER HOUR
billy is making rice pudding. she uses 3/4 cup of white rice for every 2 cups of milk. how many cups of rice dose she need when she uses 3 cups of milk? show your work
To find the unit rate at square feet per hour, we need to divide the coverage (in square feet) by the time (in hours).
Given that the fertilizer covers 3/4 square foot in 1/4 hour, let's calculate the unit rate:
Coverage: 3/4 square foot
Time: 1/4 hour
Unit Rate = Coverage / Time
Unit Rate = (3/4) square foot / (1/4) hour
To divide by a fraction, we multiply by its reciprocal:
Unit Rate = (3/4) square foot * (4/1) hour
Unit Rate = (3 * 4) / (4 * 1) square foot / hour
Unit Rate = 12 square feet / hour
Therefore, the unit rate is 12 square feet per hour.
To determine the unit rate at square feet per hour, we need to find out how many square feet are covered in one hour.
Given:
- Fertilizer covers 3/4 square foot in 1/4 hour.
To find the unit rate in square feet per hour, we can set up a proportion:
(3/4 square feet) / (1/4 hour) = (x square feet) / (1 hour)
To solve for x (the number of square feet covered in one hour), we can cross-multiply and solve for x:
(3/4) / (1/4) = x / 1
(3/4) * (4/1) = x
3/1 = x
Therefore, the unit rate at square feet per hour is 3 square feet per hour.
First, please do not use all capitals. Online it is like SHOUTING. Not only is it rude, but it is harder to understand. Thank you.
