Answer:
The unit rate that ling uses for bananas per each smoothie is (3/1) bananas per smoothie
Step-by-step explanation:
Ling uses 21 bananas to make 7 fruit smoothies. Total of bananas B = 21. Total of smoothies S =7.
The unit rate U is the relationships B divided by S.
U = B/S
U = 21 bananas / 7 smoothies
U = 21/7 Bananas per smoothies.
We can use the equivalent fractions to find the unit rate. 21 can be expressed as 7*3. 7 can be expressed as 7*1. We can simplify the number 7 in numerator and denominator.
U = (7*3)/(7*1)
U = 3/1.
Finally, the unit rate is 3/1 bananas per smoothie.
