Question

henry incorrectly said the rate 1/5 pound/ 1/20 quart can be written as the unit rate 1/100 pound per quart. What is the correct unit rate? What error did Henry likely make?

Answer 1

Answer:

4 pounds per quart

Step-by-step explanation:

Henry divided by 20 instead of multiplying by 20.

1/5 pound is the numerator and 1/20 quart is the denominator. To make the denominator equal to 1 quart, you need to multiply by 20.

So 1/5 x 20 = 4 pounds.
