How much for just ONE — speed, price per item, and more.
Read this first — it covers the idea in plain language with a worked example.
A rate compares two different units, like miles and hours. A unit rate tells you the amount for just one — like miles per ONE hour, or dollars per ONE item.
Write the rate as a fraction, then divide the top number by the bottom number.
A car drives 180 miles in 3 hours. Find the speed per hour.
Tip
Unit rates make it easy to compare deals — $0.80 per apple is a better buy than $0.90 per apple.
