600,000 gallons of water pass through a given point along a river every minute. Which equation represents the amount of water, y, that passes through the point in x minutes?

When rates are expressed as a quantity of 1, such as 2 feet per second or 5 miles per hour, they are called unit rates. if you have a multiple-unit rate such as 120 students for every 3 buses, and want to find the single-unit rate, write a ratio equal to the multiple-unit rate with 1 as the second term.
