Answer:

The unit rate is 32/25 Walls per gallons.

Step-by-step explanation:

Gallons of paint used by Martin =  5/8 gallons

Portion of wall Martin wants to paint in pints = 4/5 wall.

Rate at which Martin paints the wall: Rate =  Portion of wall covered/Paints Used.

Rate = 4/5 Gallons/5/8 Gallons = 32/25 Wall Gallons.
