Question

Write an equivalent unit rate to eating 4 hot dogs in 1/3 of a minute

Answer 1

To write an equivalent unit rate, we have to divide the number of hot dogs by the number of minutes, as follows:

$\frac{4\text{ hot dogs}}{\frac{1}{3}\text{ minutes}}=3\cdot4\frac{\text{ hot dogs}}{\text{ minute}}=12\frac{\text{ hot dogs}}{\text{ minute}}$
