Determining Unit Rates from Graphs

This video tutorial teaches how to determine the unit rate of a proportional relationship by examining graphs. It explains the characteristics of proportional and non-proportional relationships, how to identify them on graphs, and the concept of equivalent rates. The tutorial also covers converting rates to unit rates using the multiplicative inverse and provides examples, such as calculating Dorothy's running speed and the ratio of piano keys.

Why might simplifying a rate not always yield a unit rate?

• Simplification can change the proportion

• It always yields a unit rate

• Simplification might not adjust the rate to per one unit

• Not all rates are simplifiable
