To compute the rate at which Angie can peel potatoes, we first need to find out how many crates of potatoes she can peel in one hour.
Since she can peel 1/6 of a crate every 1/18 of an hour, we need to multiply both the numerator and denominator by 3 to find out how many crates she can peel in one hour:
(1/6) / (1/18) = (1/6) x (18/1) = 3 crates per hour
Therefore, Angie can peel 3 crates of potatoes in one hour, so her rate is 3 crates per hour.
