Question

The area of a blackboard is 1 1 third square yards. A poster's area is 8 over 9 square yards. What is the unit rate of the blackboard's area to the poster's area?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The area of a blackboard is $1\dfrac{1}{3}=\dfrac{4}{3}\ \text{yards}^2$

The area of poster is $\dfrac{8}{9}\ \text{yards}^2$

We need to find the unit rate of the blackboard's area to the poster's area. So, it can be calcualted by dividing blackboard's area to the poster's area.

So,

$\dfrac{\dfrac{4}{3}}{\dfrac{8}{9}}=\dfrac{4}{3}\times \dfrac{9}{8}\\\\=1.5$

So, the rate of $1.5\ \text{yard}^2$.
