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.
