Learning Objective
At the end of the lesson, you will be able to calculate unit rates from rates in mathematical and real-world problems.
What do you already know about calculating rates and unit rates?
Understanding Rates
A rate is a ratio comparing two different units, like miles per hour or dollars per pound.
Defining Unit Rates
A unit rate is a rate where the second quantity is one unit. For example, 60 miles per hour.
Calculating Unit Rates
Divide the first quantity by the second to find the unit rate. Example: 120 miles in 2 hours is 60 miles per hour.
Real-World Example: Grocery Shopping
If 3 pounds of apples cost $6, the unit rate is $2 per pound.
Create a real world problem involving unit rate for your classmates to solve.
