Finding Unit Rates Using Equations

This video tutorial teaches how to understand unit rates using equations. It begins with an introduction to unit rates and the constant of proportionality, followed by a discussion on the importance of maintaining the correct order of variables in equations. The tutorial then demonstrates how to create equations from a table showing the cost of snack packs, emphasizing the use of multiplication. It also covers how to verify these equations by substituting values and using division. The lesson concludes with a summary of the key points covered.

What is a unit rate and how is it represented in the context of the lesson?

Explain the importance of the order of variables when writing equations related to unit rates.

Using the example of snack packs, how can you create an equation that represents the relationship between the number of snack packs and their cost?

Describe how multiplication is used to find the unit rate for snack packs in the lesson.

What equation can be derived from the relationship of cost and number of snack packs when reading the table backwards?
