Angie can peel 1/6
of a crate of potatoes every 1/18
of a hour. Compute the unit rate.
Responses
A 1 crate of potatoes per hour
B/3 crates of potatoes per hour
C 6 crates of potatoes per hour
D 9 crates of potatoes per hour
E4 crates of potatoes per hour
To find the unit rate, we can divide the amount of potatoes peeled by the time taken to peel them.
Amount of potatoes peeled per time = 1/6 crate per 1/18 hour
To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.
Amount of potatoes peeled per time = (1/6) * (18/1) = 3 crates per hour
Therefore, the unit rate is 3 crates of potatoes per hour.
Answer: B) 3 crates of potatoes per hour
