Answer 1

To solve this problem using a unit rate, we need to find the rate at which the volunteers are putting together school-supply kits.

We know that in 8 minutes, they put together 40 school-supply kits. To find the rate, we divide the number of kits by the number of minutes:

40 kits / 8 minutes = 5 kits/minute

Now, we can use this rate to find how many kits they can put together in 30 minutes. We multiply the rate by the number of minutes:

5 kits/minute * 30 minutes = 150 school-supply kits

Therefore, the volunteers could put together 150 school-supply kits in 30 minutes.
