Answer:

C) The per unit rate of people in each row = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

UNIT RATE: unit rate is defined as the rate per one unit.

Now, here, the unit rate = 8

A.)Lisa lost 8 lbs in 8 weeks.

So, the loss per week = [tex]\frac{\textrm{Amount of Loss}}{\textrm{Number of weeks}}  = \frac{8}{8}[/tex]

= 1 ⇒ Per Unit Loss = 1 lbs

B.) You drove 400 mi in 8 hrs.

So,the distance covered per hour = [tex]\frac{\textrm{Total distance covered}}{\textrm{Number of hours}}  = \frac{400}{8}[/tex]

= 50 ⇒ Per hour travel = 50  miles

C.)80 people in 10 rows at the movies

So,the number of people per row = [tex]\frac{\textrm{Total number of people}}{\textrm{Number of rows}}  = \frac{80}{10}[/tex]

= 10 ⇒ Number of people per row  = 8  people

D.)There are 100 shirts in 8 drawers

So,the number of shirts per drawer = [tex]\frac{\textrm{Total number of shirts}}{\textrm{Number of drawers}}  = \frac{100}{8}[/tex]

= 12.5 ⇒ Number of shirts per drawer  = 12. 5 shirts

Hence, the per unit rate of people in each row = 8
