Question 396591: You earned $3 in one day. What is the rate per day?
You read 5 books in 2 weeks. What is the rate per week?
You grew 3 inches in 11 weeks. What is the rate per week? Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! (1)
$3/1 day
(2)
5 books / 2 weeks = (5/2)books/1 week
or, 2.5 books / 1 week
(3)
3 inches / 11 weeks = (3/11) inches / 1 week
You can see this answer by adding up the (3/11) inches
for the 11 weeks:
3/11 + 3/11 + 3/11 + 3/11 + 3/11 + 3/11 + 3/11 + 3/11 + 3/11 + 3/11 + 3/11 =
11*(3/11) = 3 inches for the 11 weeks
