Angie can peel
1/6 of a crate of potatoes everyone 18th of an hour c o m p u t e the unit rate
To compute the unit rate, we can divide the amount of potatoes Angie can peel by the time it takes her.
Angie can peel 1/6 of a crate of potatoes every 18th of an hour.
To simplify the fraction, we need to find a common denominator. The denominator for 6 is 6, and the denominator for 18 is also 6.
1/6 of a crate of potatoes = (1/6) * (6/6) = 6/36
Now we divide this amount by the time it takes Angie:
Unit rate = (6/36) / (1/18)
When we divide fractions, we invert the second fraction and multiply:
Unit rate = (6/36) * (18/1)
Multiplying across gives us:
Unit rate = (6 * 18) / (36 * 1) = 108/36
Simplifying the fraction, we get:
Unit rate = 3/1 or 3
Therefore, the unit rate is 3 crates of potatoes per hour.
