Find each rate.
240 pounds of fertilizer
6 lawns
240/6 = ?
how do I find the rate Ms. Sue
If you're asking how many pounds of fertilizer used for each lawn, then you need to divide as I showed above.
To find the rate, we need to divide the given quantity by another quantity. In this case, we divide the pounds of fertilizer by the number of lawns.
Rate = 240 pounds of fertilizer / 6 lawns
To find the actual value of the rate, we can perform the division:
Rate = 240 pounds / 6 lawns
= 40 pounds per lawn
Therefore, the rate is 40 pounds of fertilizer per lawn.
