What is the rate and unit rate of 360 customers in 30 days?

Answer 1

Gianna Caruso

Unit rate is #12# customers per day.

As in #30# days, number of customers dealt with are #360#

in #1# day number of customers dealt are #360/30#

= #(36xx10)/(3xx10)=(36xxcancel10)/(3xxcancel10)#

= #(3xx12)/3=(cancel3xx12)/1cancel3=12#

Hence, unit rate is #12# customers per day.
