Express each ratio as a unit rate. Round to the nearest tenth, if necessary.

Hello Drake


The question is asking "what is the cost for ONE notebook". The unit rate a constant number which affects the total number of numerical outputs.


To find the unit rate for this problem, realize: 2 notebooks = 60 cents

How much is one notebook? Divide both sides of the equation by the number 2.


1 notebook = 30 cents


So the unit rate is 30 cents per notebook


With this information, could you tell me the total cost if I bought 5 notebooks?

Note: UNIT RATE generally means "How many of these for ONE of those?" This may mean, for example, either dozen per dollar or it could mean dollars per dozen -- either ratio is a unit rate.
