Answer 1

Hello, Krysta,

   If someone drove a car for a week and drove 225 mi/ 25 h, how would you find the unit rate? 

 

That question is really asking you how many miles would he go in 1 hour.  Furthermore, you could divide 225÷25 to get the unit rate=  9/1    9 miles for every 1 hour of driving   This is a unit rate

 

Here are examples of unit rates:    2 candies/ $1  ,      10 mi/1 gallon of gas,      5 dogs/ 1 cat

 

What do all the fractions or unit rates have in common?

 

I hope that this helps.  I'll let you work your problem.  Susan C.
