OpenStudy (lowkey.s):

okay so for you know whats rate is right?

OpenStudy (mrmudd184):

ummm. i learned it but i forgot what is was

OpenStudy (lowkey.s):

A rate is a special ratio in which the two terms are in different units. For example, if a 12-ounce can of corn costs 69¢, the rate is 69¢ for 12 ounces. The first term of the ratio is measured in cents; the second term in ounces.

OpenStudy (mrmudd184):

ok.

OpenStudy (lowkey.s):

make 2 36/60 to improper fraction

OpenStudy (vuriffy):

60*2 = 120/60, now add the 36/60.

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Excuse my preaching, but the very first thing you should have done here was to look up "rate" and determine whether this word applies to "2 36/60." I don't think so. Are you certain that there's not more to this problem than what you've already shared?
