Adam can eat 3/8 of a pizza in 1/16 of a minute. Compute the unit rate.

Answer 1

To find the unit rate, we divide the amount of pizza (3/8) by the amount of time (1/16).

3/8 divided by 1/16 is the same as multiplying 3/8 by 16/1:

3/8 * 16/1 = (3*16)/(8*1) = 48/8 = 6.

Therefore, the unit rate is 6. This means that Adam can eat 6 units of pizza in each minute.
