To find out how many school-supply kits volunteers can put together in 30 minutes using a unit rate, we need to divide the total number of kits by the time taken for them.
The unit rate is the number of kits put together in a given amount of time. In this case, it is 40 kits in 8 minutes.
To find the unit rate, we divide 40 kits by 8 minutes:
40 kits / 8 minutes = 5 kits per minute
Now that we have the unit rate, we can calculate how many kits they can put together in 30 minutes by multiplying the unit rate by the time:
5 kits/minute x 30 minutes = 150 kits
Therefore, volunteers can put together 150 school-supply kits in 30 minutes.
To solve this problem using a unit rate, we need to find the rate at which the volunteers put together school-supply kits in terms of kits per minute.
We know that the volunteers put together 40 school-supply kits in 8 minutes. To find the rate, we divide the number of kits by the number of minutes:
Rate = Number of kits / Number of minutes
Rate = 40 kits / 8 minutes
Rate = 5 kits/minute
Now that we know the unit rate is 5 kits per minute, we can find how many kits can be put together in 30 minutes.
Number of kits = Rate x Number of minutes
Number of kits = 5 kits/minute x 30 minutes
Number of kits = 150 kits
Therefore, the volunteers can put together 150 school-supply kits in 30 minutes.
The correct response is: 150 school-supply kits.
