Question

6 1/2 yards of ribbon cost $8.22 WHAT IS THE UNIT RATE

Answer 1

Answer:

$1.26 per yard of ribbon

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, I think I can help you with this

The unit rate is the price that you pay for a unit of product, It is given by:

$unit\ rate=\frac{total\ paid}{number\ of\ products}$

in this case, all you have to do is put the values in the equation

Step one

Let

$6\frac{1}{2} =\frac{(6*2)+1}{2} =\frac{13}{2} =6.5$

so, 6 1/2=6.5

total paid:$8.22

number of products=6.5 yards of ribbon

replacing

$unit\ rate=\frac{total\ paid}{number\ of\ products}\\unit\ rate=\frac{8.22}{6.5}unit\ rate=1.26$

unit rate = $1.26 per yard of ribbon

I hope it helps, Have a great day
