Answer :
The unit rate is [tex]\underline{4 \frac{1}{5}}[/tex] gallons per week.
- The tank pumps out 12 gallons every 20 days.
- We need to find the rate in gallons per week (7 days).
- First, find the daily rate:
- Daily rate = 12 gallons / 20 days = 12/20 = 3/5 gallons per day.
- Convert the daily rate to a weekly rate:
- Weekly rate = (3/5 gallons per day) * 7 days.
- Weekly rate = (3/5) * 7 = 21/5 gallons.
- Convert 21/5 to a mixed number:
- 21/5 = [tex]4 \frac{1}{5}[/tex].
- Therefore, the unit rate is [tex]4 \frac{1}{5}[/tex] gallons per week.
