612 gal of water for every 500 sq ft
What is the unit rate in gallons per square foot?
To find the unit rate in gallons per square foot, we divide the number of gallons by the number of square feet.
Unit rate = (Number of gallons) / (Number of square feet)
In this case, the unit rate would be:
Unit rate = 612 gallons / 500 sq ft
Unit rate = 1.224 gallons per square foot
