Question

math antics worksheets using unit rates to compare instructions: use unit rates to solve the following word problems. 1 tom and paul are building a brick wall. tom lays 420 bricks in 6 hours. paul lays 240 bricks in 3 hours. whose rate is faster? toms rate \\(\frac{420}{6} = \frac{70}{1}\\) bricks per hour pauls rate \\(\frac{240}{3} = \frac{80}{1}\\) bricks per hour 70 < 80 so pauls rate is faster. 31 kim and ben are planting a garden. kim plants 24 flowers in 2 hours. ben plants 33 flowers in 3 hours. whose rate is faster? 32 anns bakery bakes 450 loaves of bread in 3 days. marks bakery bakes 560 loaves of bread in 4 days. which bakery bakes bread at the faster rate? 33 dave and eric are painting a long fence. dave paints 125 feet of the fence in 5 hours. eric paints 175 feet in 7 hours. whose rate is faster? 34 a bear can run 400 feet in 8 seconds. a horse can run 200 feet in 5 seconds? which animal runs at the faster rate? 35 sam earned $300 working for 6 hours. rich earned $185 working for 4 hours. who has the higher rate of pay? *5 points per question. 3 for the answer...2 for showing your work (i will go in and adjust points when looking at your work) 31. \\(\square\\) rate is faster because \\(\square > \square\\) required 5 show your work

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate Kim's unit rate

Kim plants 24 flowers in 2 hours. To find the unit rate (flowers per hour), we divide the number of flowers by the number of hours. So, $\frac{24}{2} = 12$ flowers per hour.

Step2: Calculate Ben's unit rate

Ben plants 33 flowers in 3 hours. The unit rate is $\frac{33}{3} = 11$ flowers per hour.

Step3: Compare the unit rates

Now we compare 12 and 11. Since $12 > 11$, Kim's rate is faster.

Answer:

Kim's rate is faster because $12 > 11$
