Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The popcorn maker produces14 cups of popcorn in.5 minutes. We want to find the unit rate per minute, which is the number of cups of popcorn produced in one minute

STEP 2

To find the unit rate per minute, we need to divide the total number of cups by the total number of minutes.
Unitrate=Totalcups/TotalminutesUnit\, rate = Total\, cups / Total\, minutes

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given values for the total cups and total minutes to calculate the unit rate.
Unitrate=14cups/2.5minutesUnit\, rate =14\, cups /2.5\, minutes

STEP 4

Calculate the unit rate.
Unitrate=14cups/2.minutes=.6cups/minuteUnit\, rate =14\, cups /2.\, minutes =.6\, cups/minuteThe popcorn maker produces.6 cups of popcorn per minute.
