Find the unit rate enter your answer as a mixed number

Question

a fertilizer covers 3/4 square foot in 1/2 an hour

Answer 1

Hi Abby,

The unit rate would be amount of fertilizer for 1 hour.

Since 3/4 square foot is used in 1/2 hour, you would need twice as much for 1 hour:

3/4 • 2 = 6/4 square feet in 1 hour

As a mixed number, this would be equivalent to 1 1 square feet per hour
