Question

Rewrite 1 / 6 barrels over 2 over 5 hours as a unit rate

Answer:

5/12 barrel/hour

Step-by-step explanation:

 Type this as a fraction:

  (1/6) barrel

--------------------

  (2/5) hours

Division by 2/5 is equivalent to multiplication by 5/2:

1                5

--- barrel * -------------- = 5/12 barrel/hour

6                2  hours

Alternatively, this problem could be done using decimal fractions:

0.1667 barrel

-------------------- = 0.416666 barrel/hour  =  5/12 barrel/hour

0.4 hours
