Answer:
3 1/4 (Verified) ✅
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a rate problem, so we will write rate as a proportion and write the desired rate with x for the unknown value we need to find.
9.75/3 = x/1
Cross-mulitply
3x = 9.75
Divide by 3
x = 3.25 or 3 1/4
Another great thing with proportions is that we can check them to ensure we got the correct answer. All we do is substitute our determined value in for x
9.75/3 = 3.25/1
9.75 = 9.75 ✅
The answer of x = 3 1/4 is correct.
