To find the rate at which the soccer team drank Gatorade, we need to divide the total number of gallons consumed by the number of weeks.
Total gallons consumed: 4 gallons
Number of weeks: 5 weeks
Rate = Total gallons consumed / Number of weeks
Rate = 4 gallons / 5 weeks
Simplifying the fraction, we have:
Rate = (4/1) gallons / (5/1) weeks
Rate = 4/1 * 1/5
Rate = 4/5
Therefore, the rate at which the soccer team members drank Gatorade was 4/5 gallon per week. So, the correct option is A.
