1 answer

To find the unit rate of ribbon to fabric, we need to divide the amount of ribbon by the amount of fabric.

If Lenny buys 5/8 yard of ribbon for every 2 yards of fabric, the unit rate of ribbon to fabric would be:
(5/8) / 2 = 5/8 * 1/2 = 5/16

Therefore, the correct answer is D. 5/16 / 1.
