B/3 crates of potatoes per hour

C 6 crates of potatoes per hour

D 9 crates of potatoes per hour

Answer 1

To find the unit rate, we can divide the amount of potatoes peeled by the time taken to peel them.

Amount of potatoes peeled per time = 1/6 crate per 1/18 hour

To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction.

Amount of potatoes peeled per time = (1/6) * (18/1) = 3 crates per hour

Therefore, the unit rate is 3 crates of potatoes per hour.

Answer: B) 3 crates of potatoes per hour
