Genesis can build 1/4 of meter of fence in 1/5 of an hour. Determine the meters per minute. Unit rate less than 2
To find the meters per minute, we first need to find how many meters of fence Genesis can build in one hour.
Since Genesis can build 1/4 of a meter in 1/5 of an hour, we can find how much she can build in one hour by multiplying the rate by 5 (since 1/5 of an hour is equivalent to one hour).
(1/4) meter * 5 = 5/4 = 1.25 meters
Therefore, Genesis can build 1.25 meters of fence in one hour.
Now, to find the meters per minute, we divide the amount of fence built in one hour by 60 minutes (since there are 60 minutes in an hour).
1.25 meters / 60 minutes = 0.020833 meters per minute
Therefore, the unit rate is less than 2 meters per minute.
U sure
Apologies for the mistake in my previous calculation. Let's reevaluate to find the correct answer.
Given:
- Genesis can build 1/4 of a meter of fence in 1/5 of an hour.
To determine the rate in meters per minute, we need to find out how much fence Genesis can build in 1 hour first.
1/5 of an hour is equivalent to 12 minutes (1/5 * 60 minutes).
In 12 minutes, Genesis can build 1/4 of a meter of fence.
So, to determine how much fence she can build in 1 hour:
(1/4 meter) / (12 minutes) = (1/4) / (12/1) = 1/4 * 1/12 = 1/48 meter per minute.
Therefore, Genesis can build 1/48 of a meter of fence in one minute.
This rate of building fence in meters per minute is less than 2.
