1. To find the jaguar's unit rate of meat consumption in pounds per day, divide the total amount of meat by the number of days:
15 pounds ÷ 5 days = 3 pounds per day.
2. To find the monkey's unit rate of picking bananas in bananas per hour, divide the total number of bananas by the number of hours:
120 bananas ÷ 6 hours = 20 bananas per hour.
3. To find the explorer's unit rate of hiking in miles per hour, divide the total distance by the number of hours:
10 miles ÷ 2 hours = 5 miles per hour.
4. To find the snake's unit rate of slithering in feet per minute, divide the total distance by the number of minutes:
18 feet ÷ 3 minutes = 6 feet per minute.
5. To find the toucan's unit rate of flying in miles per hour, divide the total distance by the number of hours:
120 miles ÷ 4 hours = 30 miles per hour.
6. To find the river's unit rate of water flow in cubic feet per second, first convert minutes to seconds:
45 cubic feet per minute ÷ 60 seconds = 0.75 cubic feet per second.
7. To find the chimpanzees' unit rate of gathering fruit in fruits per hour, first convert minutes to hours:
150 fruits ÷ (10 ÷ 60) hours = 150 fruits ÷ (1/6) hours = 150 × 6 = 900 fruits per hour.
8. To find the sloth's unit rate of climbing in feet per minute, first convert hours to minutes:
12 feet ÷ (6 ÷ 60) hours = 12 feet ÷ 0.1 hours = 120 feet per hour.
Then convert to feet per minute: 120 feet per hour ÷ 60 minutes = 2 feet per minute.
9. To find the family of parrots' unit rate of nut consumption in pounds per day, divide the total amount of nuts by the number of days:
30 pounds ÷ 3 days = 10 pounds per day.
10. To find the otter's unit rate of swimming in meters per minute, first convert minutes to seconds:
