Answer:

The unit rate is:

  • 1/8 turkey/per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

As Chet was eating 1/4 of a turkey every 2 hours.

This tells us that every two hours, Chet will eat  175  1/4 of a turkey.

  • Unit rate basically means 'how much of something per 1 unit of something else'.

A unit rate is a rate with a denominator of  1  unit.

This means, in 1 hour, Chet will eat half of what he eats every 2 hours.

so Chet will eat [tex]\frac{\frac{1}{4}}{2}=\frac{1}{8}[/tex] of a turkey in 1 hour.

i.e.

[tex]\frac{\frac{1}{4}}{2}=\frac{1}{8}[/tex]

Therefore, the unit rate is:

  • 1/8 turkey/per hour.
