Question

A fertilizer covers 3 4 square foot in 1 2 hour. The unit rate is square feet per hour.

Answer 1

Answer:

$2\frac{5}{6}$ square foot per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

The total area covered = 34 square foot

Time taken = 12 hours

This implies that it takes 12 hours to cover 34 square foot.

Using proportionality,

12 hours ---------------------------------------> 34 square foot

Dividing both sides by 12

$\frac{12}{12} hours$ ---------------------------> $\frac{34}{12} square foot$

1 hour ---------------------------------------> $2\frac{5}{6}$ square foot per hour

The unit rate in square feet per hour is $2\frac{5}{6}$ square foot per hour
