Question

Jerry hears 5 case ever 2 3/8 hours Jerry hears a constant rate how many case does Jerry hear per hour

Answer 1

Answer:

The rate of cases is $\frac{40}{19}$ per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given

Total number of cases =5

total time is

$=2\frac{3}{8}$ hour

we can simplify it

total time is

$=\frac{2\times 8+3}{8}$ hour

$=\frac{19}{8}$ hour

we can use formula

rate of cases = ( total number of cases)/( total time)

now, we can plug values

Rate of cases is

$=\frac{5}{\frac{19}{8} }$

$=\frac{40}{19}$

Answer 2

Answer: -Jerry hears  $2\frac{2}{19}$ per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since time is given in mixed fraction $2\frac{3}{8}$ , thus first convert it into improper fraction

Time=$\frac{19}{8}$ hours

The total number of cases Jerry hears in  =5 cases

⇒The number of cases Jerry hears in 1 hour

$=\frac{5}{\frac{19}{8}}\\\\=\frac{5\times8}{19}\\\\=\frac{40}{19}=2\frac{2}{19}$ cases per hour.

Thus, Jerry hears $2\frac{2}{19}$ cases per hour .
