Answer 2

Answer:   $40\dfrac{4}{5}\text{ ounces}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The amount of icing used for every $\dfrac{1}{4}$ of a cake = $10\dfrac{1}{5}\text{ ounces}$

$=\dfrac{51}{5}\text{ ounces}$

To find the unit rate in ounces of icing per cake, we need to divide $\dfrac{51}{5}$ by  $\dfrac{1}{4}$ , we get

The unit rate in ounces of icing per cake = $\dfrac{51}{5}\div\dfrac{1}{4}$

$\dfrac{51}{5}\times4=\dfrac{204}{5}=40\dfrac{4}{5}$

Hence, the unit rate in ounces of icing per cake = $40\dfrac{4}{5}\text{ ounces}$
