A log splitter can split 6 5 cords of wood in 4 5 of a hour. Compute the unit rate by setting up a complex fraction and simplifying.
the answer is 1.5 or 1 1/2.
here is the how you get this answer.
1: Cross Multiply (1.2)(60)=x
2: divide x by 48
3: you should get 1.5 or 3/2
BTW x is equal to 72
Work done by log Splitter to break 6/5 cords of wood = \(\frac{4}{5}\) hour
\(\frac{6}{5}\) cords of wood = \(\frac{4}{5}\times 60\) Minutes
→\(\frac{6}{5}\) cords of wood = 4 × 12 Minutes
→ 6 cords of wood = 48× 5 = 240 Minutes
⇒Time taken to break 1 cords of wood = \(\frac{240}{6}\) = 40 Minutes →→[Using Unitary Method]
⇒Time taken to break 1 cords of wood = 40 minutes
