A painter can paint 350 square feet in 1.25 hours. What is the painting rate in square feet per hour?
Answer:
The painting rate in square feet per hour is equal to \(280\)
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The unit rate is the ratio of two measurements in which the second term is equal to one
In this problem we need to calculate the unit rate
Divide the total area by the total time
so
\(\frac{350}{1.25} \frac{ft^{2}}{hours} =280\frac{ft^{2}}{hour}\)
