Question

Wanchen makes limeade using 3 5 cup water per 1 3 cup lime juice. Find the unit rates of water (cups) per lime juice (cups).

Answer 1

Answer:

Unit rate is 2.69 cups of water for 1 cup of lime juice.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate of water (cups) per lime juice (cups) means how much water (cups) is added to 1 cup of lime juice to make limeade.

This can be calculated as,

Unit rate = Number of water (cups) / Number of lime juice (cups)

Unit rate = $\frac{35}{13}$

Unit rate = 2.69 cups of water for 1 cup of lime juice.
