Question

How would I go about solving this problem?

What is the unit rate for each situation in terms of y to x? Remember to include the
appropriate units.

y = 2/3x
where y is the amount of wall painted and x is the number of hours.

Answer 1

y=2/3x
x=3/2y.

Answer 2

If you multiply both sides by 3, you are left with 3y=2x. So, every two hours, 3 walls are painted.

Answer 3

Thanks both of you!!
