Exploring Unit Rates and Rate Tables

The video tutorial reviews sixth-grade concepts of unit rates and rate tables. It explains the definition and calculation of unit rates, provides practice questions, and introduces rate tables. The tutorial also covers finding missing values in rate tables and extends the concept to graphing rates, emphasizing the importance of straight lines in graphs to identify rate problems.

What is a unit rate?

• A ratio used only in sixth-grade math

• A ratio where the numerator is always greater than the denominator

• A ratio of two different measures where either the numerator or denominator is one

• A ratio where both the numerator and denominator are the same

Why does dividing the numerator by the denominator work when calculating a unit rate?

• Because it only works for even numbers

• Because it changes the fraction to a percentage

• Because it always results in a whole number

• Because it simplifies the fraction by reducing both the numerator and denominator by the same factor

What is the unit rate for 10 miles in 2 hours?

• 5 miles per hour

• 10 miles per hour

• 20 miles per hour

• 2 miles per hour

Which of the following is NOT an example of a unit rate?

• Dollars per pound

• Hours per bracelet

• Students per teacher

• Miles per gallon

How do you determine if a table is a rate table?

• By checking if all the rates are whole numbers

• By ensuring all the rates are equivalent

• By making sure the table has at least three rows

• By verifying that the table is in alphabetical order

If 12 divided by 6 equals 2, what is the missing value for 35 times 2?

• 60

• 65

• 70

• 75

What should you do if one of the rates in a rate table is not equivalent?

• Ignore it and move on

• Recalculate all the rates

• Conclude that it is not a rate table

• Add more rows to the table

What is the visual representation of a rate table on a graph?

• A zigzag line

• A dotted line

• A straight line

• A curved line

What does it mean if the graph of a rate table is not a straight line?

• The graph is incorrect

• The numbers are probably wrong

• The table is incomplete

• The rates are too high

Which of the following statements is NOT true?

• In a rate table, all rates are equivalent

• All straight lines on a graph represent rate problems

• A graph of the rate table makes a straight line

• You can use properties of multiplication and division to solve rate problems
