Question

A carpenter lays 18 square feet of tiles in 2/3 of an hour. How many square feet of tile does the carpenter lay per hour?

Answer 1

Answer:

D. 27 square feet per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

Find the unit rate. Since 18 tiles are per 2/3 of an hour, we can divide 18 by 2 to get 9 tiles layed per third hour.

Step 2:

Multiply the 9 per third of an hour by 3 to find how many are per hour,

$9*3=27$ square feet per hour

This is called finding the unit rate of a scenario.
