Difficulty: EasyUnit Rates

A warehouse forklift moves $84$ cargo pallets in $6$ hours. At this constant rate, how many pallets does the forklift move per hour?

Answer: 14 pallets

The forklift moves

14

pallets per hour.

To determine the unit rate, divide the total quantity (

84

pallets) by the total elapsed time (

6

hours). The result is a constant rate of

14

pallets per hour.

Identify the total quantity of items and the total time.

Total pallets =

84

, Total time =

6

hours.

These are the two values needed to set up the unit rate calculation.

Divide the total pallets by the total hours.

84 \div 6 = 14

The unit rate 'pallets per hour' requires dividing the number of pallets by the number of hours.
