How to approach unit rate
A unit rate compares a quantity with exactly one unit of another quantity. Dividing both terms of a rate by the second quantity reveals a per-one comparison.
Unit rates make prices, speeds, and productivity directly comparable even when the original quantities differ.
Learning objectives
- Calculate unit rates
- Interpret per-one units
- Compare options using unit rates
Skills to review first
- Ratios
- Division with decimals
- Reading compound units
