Unit rate is a ratio between two different units with a denominator of one. When we divide a fraction's numerator by its denominator, the result is a value in decimal form. For example: 8/4 = 2 and 3/6 = 0.5. When we write numbers in decimal form, we can write them as a ratio with one as the denominator.
For example, we can write 2 as 2/1, and 0.5 as 0.5/1. However, since that approach can be a little clumsy, we usually drop the one. That said, it's important to remember the one is there, especially when working with unit rates.
For instance, 8 miles/4 hours = 2 miles/hour. Notice again that, while we did not include the 1, we did include the unit 'hour' Miles per hour is a familiar expression, as are unit rates such as:
interest/amount invested
revolutions/minute
salary/year
Conversationally, the word ''per'' indicates we are using a unit rate.
Step-by-step explanation:
Mean of the origibal set = 20
No. of terms = 10
Sum = Mean x No. of terms
= 20 x 10 = 200
The sum of additional numbers to make the new set of observstion is 4 + 8 + 12...... + 40 = 220
New Sum = 200 + 220 = 420
The no of terms stay the same
New Mean = New Sum/ N
= 420/10
= 42
Answer: 10/3
