Question

Faith is tracking the number of burpees she does at a constant rate. Last

Answer 1

This is a unit rate question. We can solve this in chronological order of steps:

Step 1: Write out the beginning for the first unit rate.

Faith completed 60 burpees in 5 minutes last week.

Step 2: Since 60 burpees were completed in 5 minutes, we can divide 60 by 5 to find how many burpees were completed in 1 minute.

60 divided by 5 equals 12.
5 divided by 5 equals 1.

Our fraction for how many burpees Faith did in a minute last week is 12/1. This reduces to 12, meaning that Faith did 12 burpees last week.

Step 3: Find the unit rate for this week.

Faith completed 78 burpees in 6 minutes this week. Because of this, we can divide 78 by 6 to find how many burpees Faith completed this week.

78 divided by 6 equals 13.
6 divided by 6 equals 1.

Our final fraction for how many completed burpees Faith did this week is 13/1, which reduces to 13. Therefore, Faith completed 13 burpees per minute this week.

Your final answer: In terms of separate values, Faith completed 12 burpees per minute last week and 13 burpees per minute this week. If you need help, let me know and I will gladly assist you.
