Question

Lenny buys 5/8 yd. of ribbon for every 2 yd. of fabric for a project. What is the unit rate of ribbon to fabric?

Answer 1

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

The amount of ribbon is 5/8 yard and the amount of fabric is 2 yards.

Therefore, the unit rate of ribbon to fabric is (5/8) / 2 = 5/8 * 1/2 = 5/16.

So, the unit rate of ribbon to fabric is 5/16 yard per yard.
