We can easily get the quarts per hour rate by dividing the number of quarts by the number of hours:
Now that we have the quarts per hour rate, we can easily address the question: the factory could make
quarts in 48 hours, with a daily rate of
quarts per day
Answer:
miles [or, 9.2 miles]
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Complete Question:</u>
Christine runs 10 miles in 75 minutes. At the same rate, how many miles would she ru n in 69 minutes?
<u>Solution:</u>
We need to find the unit rate first and then find our answer. To get unit rate, we need to know the number of miles she runs in "1 minute". So, we will divide number of miles by number of minutes, that is given. Hence:
That means in 1 minute, Christine runs 2/15th of a mile.
Now, we want to know how many miles she will run in 69 minutes. We simply multiply unit rate (2/15) by the number of minutes (which is 69). Thus we have:
In decimal, doing division, that is 9.2 miles
