5 holes =1 hour 

10 = 6 hours

60 min in 1 hour 

60x6=360 


360min 360=/M

5/m=1h=10/m=M

bye the time ones donec its /M

1/10

Answer:

The unit rate is 3 tons per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

A backhoe can dig  [tex]\frac{5}{10}[/tex] of a ton of dirt in  [tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex] of an hour.

Thus we can write,

[tex]\frac{1}{6}\text{ hour}=\frac{5}{10}\text{ ton}[/tex]

[tex]1\text{ hour}=6\times \frac{5}{10}=\frac{30}{10}=3\text{ tons}[/tex]

Hence, the backhoe can dig with the rate of 3 tons per hour.
