Deon split 3/4 lb of candy among four people. What is the unit rate in pounds per person? Write your answer in simplest form.

Respuesta :

We can write this in expression form as follows:

[tex]\frac{3}{\frac{4}{4} }[/tex]

Notice that we get a 4/4 in the denominator in which case we multiply the two (because they are both denominators:

[tex]\frac{3}{\frac{4}4} } = \frac{3}{16}[/tex]

So, the unit rate is 3/16 lbs/person.
