Determining Unit Rates Using Pictures

This video tutorial explains how to determine unit rates using visual aids. It begins with an introduction to unit rates, providing examples and vocabulary. The lesson then demonstrates how to calculate the unit rate of wood flooring installed per hour by a carpenter. The process involves using multiples of fractions to find equivalent rates. The tutorial also reverses the calculation to determine the time required to install one square yard of flooring. The lesson concludes by simplifying the unit rates and summarizing the key points learned.

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

How much wood flooring can the Carpenter install in one hour if he works at a rate of 2/3 square yards for every 1/6 of an hour?

Explain how to find an equivalent rate of square yards per one hour using the given rates.

What are the different ways to express the unit rate of four square yards of wood flooring per one hour?

How many hours does it take to install one square yard of wood flooring if the Carpenter works at the same rate?

Describe the method used to determine the time it takes to install one square yard of wood flooring.

What are the two unit rates found in the lesson, and why are they considered unit rates?
