The value of 8 units is 11. What is the value of 1 unit ?

Question

this is fifth grade math btw

Answer 1

Hi Awii,

You can think of this problem as if it were for buying things. For example, if you buy 8 units for $11, how much would 1 unit cost?

You can use equivalent fractions :

11 ÷ 8 = 11/8

8 units ÷ 8 1 unit

11 or 1 and 3 for 1 unit (1.375 for 1 )

8 8
