You can peel two carrots, permanent.

That makes poor, if any sense at all.


DO YOU MEAN THIS?

You can peel two carrots, cross%28permanent%29 per minute.
--------------------------------------------------------------

Very simple R=W%2FT
rate is the work done per amount of time.
But you can use the rate as a unit converter if you want..

How much time to finish 60-18=42 carrots?

42%2Acarrots%2A%281%2F2%29%28minute%2Fcarrots%29

highlight%2821%2Aminutes%29-----to finish the remaining 42 carrots.
