** the unit rate is:**
r = 8 20 ​ h f t 2 ​ ; For this case we must know the unit rate.
To do this, we divide the amount of area covered by the fertilizer, between time.
We have then:
r = 4 1 ​ 8 5 ​ ​
Then, rewriting the unit rate we have:
r = 8 ∗ 1 4 ∗ 5 ​
r = 8 20 ​

To find the unit rate of a fertilizer covering area, divide the area by time. This results in a unit rate of 2 5 ​ square feet per hour, or 2.5 square feet per hour. Therefore, the fertilizer covers 2.5 square feet in one hour.
