To answer and explain your question look at this example:

The denominator should be 2.5 Kg and numerator is the price $7.5. The unit price of rice would thus be 7.5/2.5 =
The denominator should be 2.5 Kg and numerator is the price $7.5. The unit price of rice would thus be 7.5/2.5 =
$3 per Kg.
The above question asking for the unit rate of 27 and 12 , the rate is 27/12=2.25.
