The graph shows a proportional relationship between the number of computers produced at a factory per day. In three days, 36 computers are produced; 48 computers are produced in 4 days; and 60 computers are produced in 5 days.

Find the unit rate of computers per day using the graph.
Unit rate: computers per day

1 answer

To find the unit rate of computers produced per day based on the given data:

  1. From the information provided:

    • In 3 days, 36 computers are produced. Therefore, the rate per day is: \[ \text{Rate for 3 days} = \frac{36 \text{ computers}}{3 \text{ days}} = 12 \text{ computers per day} \]

    • In 4 days, 48 computers are produced. Therefore, the rate per day is: \[ \text{Rate for 4 days} = \frac{48 \text{ computers}}{4 \text{ days}} = 12 \text{ computers per day} \]

    • In 5 days, 60 computers are produced. Therefore, the rate per day is: \[ \text{Rate for 5 days} = \frac{60 \text{ computers}}{5 \text{ days}} = 12 \text{ computers per day} \]

  2. Conclusion: All calculations confirm that the unit rate of computers produced per day is consistent.

Therefore, the unit rate is 12 computers per day.
