Answer 1

We have the following:

To calculate the rate we must calculate the quotient between the number of apple slices and the time taken, like this

$\frac{595}{50}=11.9$

Therefore, the unit would be apple slices per minute, and the rate would be 11.9 apple slices per minute.

Unit rate: apple slices per minute

Rate unit: 11.9
