Answer: [tex]40\dfrac{4}{5}\text{ ounces}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : The amount of icing used for every [tex]\dfrac{1}{4}[/tex] of a cake = [tex]10\dfrac{1}{5}\text{ ounces}[/tex]
[tex]=\dfrac{51}{5}\text{ ounces}[/tex]
To find the unit rate in ounces of icing per cake, we need to divide [tex]\dfrac{51}{5}[/tex] by [tex]\dfrac{1}{4}[/tex] , we get
The unit rate in ounces of icing per cake = [tex]\dfrac{51}{5}\div\dfrac{1}{4}[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{51}{5}\times4=\dfrac{204}{5}=40\dfrac{4}{5}[/tex]
Hence, the unit rate in ounces of icing per cake = [tex]40\dfrac{4}{5}\text{ ounces}[/tex]
