Answer:
Here is a similar question:
A bakery uses 10 1/5 ounces of icing for every 1/4 of a cake. What is the unit rate in ounces of icing per cake.
The unit rate in ounces of icing per cake = 40 4/5 ounces
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Ounces of ice used for every 1/4 cake = 10 1/5
We have to find the unit rate.
Let the unit rate be 'x' .
Unit rate is the rate when we use unit 'one' as our reference to find any value.
Lets convert the mixed fraction of ounces.
⇒ [tex]10\frac{1}{5} = \frac{(10\times 5)+1}{5} =\frac{51}{5}[/tex]
Portion of the cake used = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
To find the unit rate here we must divide :
⇒ [tex]x=\frac{number\ of\ ounces\ used}{portion\ of\ the\ cake}[/tex]
⇒ [tex]x=[/tex] [tex]\frac{51}{5}[/tex] ÷ [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
⇒ [tex]x=[/tex] [tex]\frac{51}{5}\times \frac{4}{1}[/tex]
⇒ [tex]x=[/tex] [tex]\frac{51\times 4}{5}[/tex]
⇒ [tex]x=[/tex] [tex]\frac{204}{5}[/tex]
⇒ [tex]x=[/tex] [tex]40\frac{4}{5}[/tex] Or [tex]40.8[/tex]
Hence, the unit rate in ounces of icing per cake = 40 4/5 ounces.

Another similar question:
A bakery uses 10 3/5 ounces of icing for every 1/4 of a cake. What is the unit rate in ounces of icing per cake?
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer is 42 2/5
10 3/5 ÷ 1/4 = 53/5 ÷ 1/4
= 53/5 x 1/4
= 212/5
= 42 2/5
