Answer 1

Answer:

1/13

Step-by-step explanation:

Ice cream

starting = 2/3 full

After Jenna's shift = 1/6 of the tub

Total Time = 6.5hours

Amount of ice cream consumed = $\frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{6}$

                                                  = $\frac{1}{2}$ = 0.5

Rate per hour = amount of ice cream consumed -=/ total time

                      = 0.5/6.5 = 1/13  ice cream consumed per hour
