The table below shows the total number of brake pads produced by machines throughout a 12-hour work day.

What is the unit rate for break pads produced per hour?

Responses

4 break pads per hour
4 break pads per hour

16 brake pads per hour
16 brake pads per hour

12 brake pads per hour
12 brake pads per hour

3 brake pads per hour

no table is shows, so no answer would be possible.

The answer given by the bot is meaningless

So what is the answer

To find the unit rate for brake pads produced per hour, we need to divide the total number of brake pads produced by the number of hours worked. In this case, the table does not explicitly provide the number of brake pads produced per hour. Instead, it only provides the total number of brake pads produced over a 12-hour work day.

To calculate the unit rate, we divide the total number of brake pads produced by the number of hours worked.

Let's use the given responses and divide the total number of brake pads by 12 hours each:

Response 1: 4 brake pads per hour
To find the total number of brake pads produced in 12 hours, we multiply 4 brake pads per hour by 12 hours:
4 brake pads/hour * 12 hours = 48 brake pads

The correct response cannot be 4 brake pads per hour since it is not equal to the total number of brake pads produced in 12 hours.

Response 2: 16 brake pads per hour
To find the total number of brake pads produced in 12 hours, we multiply 16 brake pads per hour by 12 hours:
16 brake pads/hour * 12 hours = 192 brake pads

The correct response cannot be 16 brake pads per hour since it is not equal to the total number of brake pads produced in 12 hours.

Response 3: 12 brake pads per hour
To find the total number of brake pads produced in 12 hours, we multiply 12 brake pads per hour by 12 hours:
12 brake pads/hour * 12 hours = 144 brake pads

The correct response cannot be 12 brake pads per hour since it is not equal to the total number of brake pads produced in 12 hours.

Response 4: 3 brake pads per hour
To find the total number of brake pads produced in 12 hours, we multiply 3 brake pads per hour by 12 hours:
3 brake pads/hour * 12 hours = 36 brake pads

The correct response should be 36 brake pads per hour since it is equal to the total number of brake pads produced in 12 hours.

Therefore, the correct unit rate for brake pads produced per hour is 36 brake pads per hour.

3 brake pads per hour
