Steven is patining walls that are equal size. he paints 1/6 of a wall, in 3/10 of an hour. using this information, create and equation for the unit rate, R, that represents how much of a wall steven patins in 1 hour.

Answer 1

To find Steven's rate of painting walls in terms of hours, we can set up the following equation:

1/6 / 3/10 = R

Multiplying both sides by 10 to get rid of the fraction:

10 * 1/6 / 3/10 = 10R
10/6 * 10/3 = 10R
100/18 = 10R

Simplify:

100/18 = 5.55555555556 = 10R

Thus, the unit rate, R, that represents how much of a wall Steven paints in 1 hour is approximately 5.56.
