If Jacob paints 1/5 of a wall in 1/10 of an hour, what is his unit rate?

2 pieces of wall/1 hour

Step-by-step explanation:

1) since time is an independant variable it will be the denominator

so 1/5:1/10

when dividing fractions remember that the sign changes to multiplication and the second fraction reciprocates (turns upside down)

so

1/5*10/1=10/5

Jacob paints 10/5ths of the wall (2), in an hour

Jacobs unit rate is 1/5 of the wall every 6 minutes which is. 033 repeating of the wall every 1 minute
