Question

Find the unit rate. 1/3 kilograms : 2/3 foot. the unit rate is kilograms per foot.

Answer 1

Answer:

The unit rate is 1/2 or 0.5 kilograms per foot

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the unit rate we have to divide the number of kilograms by the number of feet

Given information is:

1/3 kilograms : 2/3 foot.

Let u be the unit rate

The unit rate will be calculated as:

$u = \frac{\frac{1}{3}}{\frac{2}{3}}$

When dealing with fractions

$\frac{\frac{a}{b}}{\frac{c}{d}} = \frac{a}{b} * \frac{d}{c}$

So

$u = \frac{1}{3} * \frac{3}{2}\\u = \frac{1}{2}$

Hence,

The unit rate is 1/2 or 0.5 kilograms per foot
