Unit Rates with Complex Fractions

Cassandra observes heavy rain and measures the rainfall using a cup over half an hour, finding 9/8 inches of rain. She learns about complex fractions and calculates the unit rate of rainfall per hour by dividing 9/8 by 1/2, resulting in 2 and 1/4 inches per hour. The lesson focuses on understanding and calculating unit rates involving complex fractions.
