Over a period of 114 minutes you eat 70 skittles. How many skittles will you eat in an hour?

Over a period of 114 minutes you eat 70 skittles. How many skittles will you eat in an hour.

We need to solve for the Unit rate of the given dа ta:

dа ta: 70 skittles for 114 minutes

Since we are looking for how many skittles you ate in hours. Convert minutes to hours first

=> 1 hr = 60 minutes

=> 114 minutes = 1.9 hours

Now, let’s solve

=> 70 / 1.9 = 36.84 skittles per hour

the unit rate is : 36.84 skittles / hr
