How can you write any rate as a unit rate?

The problem must have two terms, and you must be asked to determine how much of one term exists per unit of the other term. Rewrite the data as a division problem. The first term in the problem—the amount you are trying to calculate per unit—will become the numerator (top number). The second term—the unit—will become the denominator (bottom number). Divide both values by the denominator. To find the unit rate, simply solve the newly written division problem. Doing so will reduce the denominator to "1." Write the solution. You should now have your final answer ready.

Answer:When rates are expressed as a quantity of 1, such as 2 feet per second or 5 miles per hour, they are called unit rates. If you have a multiple-unit rate such as 120 students for every 3 buses, and want to find the single-unit rate, write a ratio equal to the multiple-unit rate with 1 as the second term.

Answer:

I'll try my best in explaining the steps.

Considering both signs are greater than and less than sign, its an open circle.

For the first equation, you would have an open circle, basically one that isn't colored in, on 8 on the number line. The arrow would be pointing to the left because the equation is telling us numbers that are less than 8.

For the second equation, you would have an open circle, basically one that isn't colored in, on -1 on the number line. The arrow would be pointing to the right because the equation is telling us numbers that are greater than -1.
