Question

Find each unit rate 1)78mi on 3gal 2)$52.50 in 7 hours 3)416 mi in 8 hours

Answer 1

1) Unit Rate = 26:1
We already know that for every 3 gallons, you can travel 78 miles. Divide 78 by 3 to get 26. The 26 stands for how many miles you can travel on one gallon.

2) Unit Rate = $7.50:1
Since we already know that for every 7 hours, you earn $52.50, divide 52.50 by 7 to get 7.50. The 7.50 represents how much money you earn in 1 hour.

3) Unit Rate = 52:1
Since you can travel 416 miles in 8 hours, divide 416 by 8 to get 52. The 52 represents how many mile you can travel in 1 hour alone.

Here's a little hint too: (If I remember correctly) For unit rates, it's always going to be *any number* to 1. So even if it's a decimal or a negative, the other side of the rate always has to be 1 :)
