To calculate Justin's eating rate, we divide the number of hamburgers he ate by the time it took him.
Justin's eating rate = Number of hamburgers / Time
Since Justin ate 15 hamburgers in 10 minutes, we have:
Justin's eating rate = 15 hamburgers / 10 minutes
Simplifying this, we find that Justin's eating rate is:
Justin's eating rate = 1.5 hamburgers per minute
Therefore, the correct answer is B) 1.5 hamburgers per minute.
