Question

A conveyor belt moves 450 ft in 3/8  h.

Complete the unit rate.

____ft/h

mrnood · Answer

"per" means divide

the unit rate is the number of feet per (one) hour

You are given 450ft
You are given 3/8 hour

so divide number of feet / number of hours
that is your answer

A CD makes 58 1/2  revolutions in 3/4  min.

Complete the unit rate.

     ______revolutions/min

mrnood · Answer

you haven't finished the last one yet

it asks you for the unit rate

it is 120 what?

jerudavis · Answer

I did

mrnood · Answer

The whole point of unit rates is to get something like "miles per hour"

i.e the distance traveled in ONE hour

you have divided feet by hours to find the distance travelled in ONE hour

so what is the corect unit for the answer?
(the answer is in the question - but it IS part of the requirement to get this question correct)

120 what??

mrnood · Answer

Just take a moment to READ the question again

the required unit is GIVEN in the question, but must be written in oyur answer for it to be correct.

120 is correct
but 120 WHAT?

mrnood · Answer

from the question:

"Complete the unit rate.

____ft/hour"

ramzy197 · Answer

okie so what @MrNood is asking is what units would you use for the answer 120 you got
so what you have done now is DIVIDED the FT by the HOUR and so the units would include both of the things you used to get the answer

ramzy197 · Answer

is this homework or an online class?
and you work out the next question the same way

owlcoffee · Answer

tagging more people will not grant you an automatic answer, I suggest you take the advices and help given by @MrNood and work with that.
