Question

Which equation could be used to solve the problem? Joan picked 4 bushels of apples in one hour. At that rate, how many bushels would she pick in 8 hours (b)? * A. b = 8 + 4 B. b = 8 • 4C. b = 4 ÷ 8 D. b = 8 ÷ 4

Answer 1

Hello!

Unit rates can be written as ratios. In this case, we have 4 bushels in one hour, or 4:1. In eight hours, we can multiply like a fraction, multiplying both by eight to get eight hours.

Our final answer is B) 8·4.

I hope this helps!
