Answer: \(40\dfrac{4}{5}\text{ ounces}\)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : The amount of icing used for every \(\dfrac{1}{4}\) of a cake = \(10\dfrac{1}{5}\text{ ounces}\)
\(=\dfrac{51}{5}\text{ ounces}\)
To find the unit rate in ounces of icing per cake, we need to divide \(\dfrac{51}{5}\) by \(\dfrac{1}{4}\) , we get
The unit rate in ounces of icing per cake = \(\dfrac{51}{5}\div\dfrac{1}{4}\)
\(\dfrac{51}{5}\times4=\dfrac{204}{5}=40\dfrac{4}{5}\)
Hence, the unit rate in ounces of icing per cake = \(40\dfrac{4}{5}\text{ ounces}\)
