Alan fills an aquarium to a depth of
3/4 meters in 1 1/5 minutes.
What is the unit rate in minutes per meter?
Convert to equivalents 3/4 = 0.75 & 1 1/5 = 1.20 because, decimals are a lot
easier to divide than fractions
1.20 minute / 0.75 meter = 1.60 minute / meter
If you must do it in fractions 6/5 minute/1 divided by 3/4 meter/1
To divide by a fraction, you
invert the divisor and multiply 6/5 minute/1 • 4/3 1/meter = 24/15 minute/meter
24/15 minute/meter = 1 3/5 minute/meter
.
