To compute the unit rate, we need to determine how many pizzas Adam can eat in 1 minute.
Given that Adam can eat 3/8 of a pizza in 1/16 of a minute, we can set up a proportion to find the unit rate:
(3/8) / (1/16) = x / 1
To simplify the proportion, we can multiply both sides by 16:
(3/8) * 16 = x
Multiplying, we get:
(3 * 16) / 8 = x
48/8 = x
6 = x
Therefore, the unit rate is 6 pizzas per minute.
The correct response is C.
Adam can eat 3/8
of a pizza in 1/16
of a minute. Compute the unit rate.
