Question

tanisha mowed 8 lawns in 10 hours. what was her rate of mowing in lawns per hour? resize the right columns to represent the unit rate. answer attempt 1 out of 2 lawns per hour submit answer

Explanation:

Step1: Define rate formula

Rate = $\frac{\text{Number of lawns}}{\text{Total hours}}$

Step2: Plug in given values

Rate = $\frac{8}{10}$

Step3: Simplify the fraction

$\frac{8}{10} = \frac{4}{5} = 0.8$

Answer:

0.8 lawns per hour

For the bar graph adjustment: The right "5 lawns" bar should be resized to 0.8, and the "$\frac{25}{4}$ hours" bar should be resized to 1 (to represent 1 hour for the unit rate).
