See below.

Explanation:

We are given that the painter covers #4/5# sq ft in #1/4# hour. So to find the unit rate, we will need to find the number of square feet per hour. This is basically #4/5*4#, as there are #4# #1/4# square feet for every #1# hour. So the answer is therefore #(16/5 "ft"^2)/"hr"#.

I hope that helps!
