Justin's eating rate can be calculated by dividing the total number of hamburgers he ate by the total time taken to eat them.
He ate 15 hamburgers in 10 minutes. To find out the rate per minute:
Rate = Number of hamburgers / Time in minutes
Rate = 15 hamburgers / 10 minutes
Rate = 1.5 hamburgers per minute
So, Justin's eating rate is:
B 1.5 hamburgers per minute
