A FERTILLIZER COVERS 5/6 SQUARE FEET IN 1/2HOUR

Question

I REALLY NEED HELP

Answer 1

"Unit Rate" means "how many of these for one of those?"

 

For this problem, you may have unit rates of:

   number of square feet per hour

   number of hours per square foot  (but it is more likely number of minutes per square foot).

 

Let's assume:  number of square feet per minute  [  that means {square feet) / hour  ]

 

   (5/6 square foot) / (1/2 hour)

   (5/6) / (1/2)  square feet per hour

   (5/6)*(2/1)  square feet per hour    [to divide by fraction, invert denominator and multiply]

    10/6 square feet per hour

      5/3  square feet per hour    [reduce]

      1 2/3 square foot per hour      [convert to mixed fraction]

Answer 2

I have already solved this problem for you.

 

It is 5/6 square feet divided by 1/2 hour =

 

5/6 square feet * 2/1 hour  <--- remember when dividing fractions, KFC: keep , change , flip

 

10/6 square feet per hour = 5/3 square feet per hour.
