__________ revolutions per second (in simplest form)
your answer

Explanation:

Step1: Recall unit - rate formula

Unit rate = $\frac{\text{Number of revolutions}}{\text{Number of seconds}}$

Step2: Substitute values

Given 5 revolutions in 50 seconds, so unit rate = $\frac{5}{50}$

Step3: Simplify the fraction

$\frac{5\div5}{50\div5}=\frac{1}{10}$

Answer:

$\frac{1}{10}$
