Question

a. 180 baskets per hour
b. 3 baskets per hour
c. 20 baskets per hour
d. 57 baskets per hour

Answer 1

Answer:

  c.  20 baskets per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

In this context, "per" can be considered to mean "divided by." Then to find the unit rate in terms of baskets per hour, we compute ...

  rate = (baskets)/(hours) = (60 baskets)/(3 hours) = (60/3) baskets/hour

  rate = 20 baskets/hour . . . . matches choice C
