To solve this problem using a unit rate, we can divide the total number of kits by the total time taken.
The unit rate would be 40 kits / 8 minutes = 5 kits per minute.
To find the number of kits volunteers could put together in 30 minutes, we need to multiply the unit rate by the time taken:
5 kits per minute * 30 minutes = 150 school-supply kits.
Therefore, the correct answer is 150 school-supply kits.
To solve this problem using a unit rate, we need to find out how many school-supply kits can be put together in one minute and then multiply that by the number of minutes we want to find.
Given that volunteers put together 40 school-supply kits in 8 minutes, we can find out how many kits they can put together in one minute by dividing the total by the number of minutes:
40 kits ÷ 8 minutes = 5 kits per minute
Now, we can calculate how many kits they can put together in 30 minutes by multiplying the rate per minute by the number of minutes we want to find:
5 kits per minute × 30 minutes = 150 school-supply kits
Therefore, the volunteers can put together 150 school-supply kits in 30 minutes.
To solve this problem using a unit rate, we first need to find the rate at which the volunteers are putting together school-supply kits. We know that they can put together 40 kits in 8 minutes.
To find the rate, we divide the number of kits (40) by the number of minutes (8):
40 kits ÷ 8 minutes = 5 kits per minute
Now that we have the rate, we can determine how many kits the volunteers can put together in 30 minutes. We multiply the rate (5 kits per minute) by the number of minutes (30):
5 kits per minute × 30 minutes = 150 kits
Therefore, the volunteers can put together 150 school-supply kits in 30 minutes.
