Unit Rate/Unit Price

A unit rate is a comparison of two different quantities where one of the quantities is expressed as one unit. For example, if you can buy 3 apples for $1, the unit rate is $0.33 per apple.

To calculate the unit price, divide the total price by the number of units. For example, if a 12-pack of soda costs $6, the unit price is $6 ÷ 12 = $0.50 per soda.

The unit rate is 240 miles ÷ 4 hours = 60 miles per hour.

The formula to find the unit rate is: Unit Rate = Total Quantity ÷ Number of Units.

The unit rate is 4 cups ÷ 2 loaves = 2 cups of flour per loaf.

To determine which deal is better, calculate the unit price for each option and compare them. The option with the lower unit price is the better deal.

The price per pound is $20 ÷ 10 pounds = $2 per pound.

The unit rate of speed is 100 meters ÷ 10 seconds = 10 meters per second.

The unit rate is 300 miles ÷ 15 gallons = 20 miles per gallon.

Calculate the unit price for both products and compare them. The product with the lower unit price is the better deal.
