a) 70 min to stock 14 shelves

To find the unit rate we need to divide 70 minutes by 14 shelves

Unit rate means denominator = 1

[tex]\frac{70}{14}=5[/tex]

The unit rate is 5 minutes/self

b) $6.00 for 12 Ib

we will divide 12 by 6

[tex]\frac{12}{6}=2[/tex]

The unit rate is 2 Ib/dollar

c) 4 qt of soup for 3.80

We will divide 3.80 by 4

[tex]\frac{3.80}{4}=0.95[/tex]

The unit rate is 0.95 dollars/qt

d) 5 oranges for 1.2 dollars

We will divide 1.2 by 5

[tex]\frac{1.2}{5}=0.24[/tex]

The unit rate is 0.24 dollar/orange

We will divide 140 by 4

[tex]\frac{140}{4}=35[/tex]

The unit rate is 35 mi/gal.
