Have you ever been at the grocery store and stood, staring, at two different sizes of the same item wondering which one is the better deal? If so, you are not alone. A UNIT RATE could help you out when this happens and make your purchasing decision an easy one.
In this lesson, you will learn what UNIT RATES are and how to apply them in everyday comparison situations. Click the links below and complete the appropriate sections of the Unit Rates handout.

Eliminate the fractions by multiplying by least common multiple.
4,9,12 all go into 36 evenly. Multiply entire equation by 36.
36/4 = 9
36/9 = 4
36/12 = 3
New equation looks like:
So now its
but you want it in y=mx+b so
add x to both sides so that you have y on its own
so now it's
Answer:
8 percent
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the formula for interest rate is the original money, the amount of years, and the inetrest rate multiplied together, we could plug it into an equation. 6000 times 4 times the ineterest rate is equal to 1920. 6000 times 4 is 24000. 1920 divided by 24000 is equal to 0.08 or 8 percent.
Answer:
SA = 402.14 square inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Imagine you unroll the cylinder. You will be left with a rectangle and two "lids" (disks).
The rectangular area will be of dimension:
Ar = (height)*(circumference of the disk)
Ar = (12 in) * (8 in) *pi = 301.60 in^2
The area of one disk will be
Ad = pi*(radius^2) = pi*(4^2 in^2) = 50.27 in^2
So the total surface area will be
SA = Ar + 2* Ad = 402.14 in^2 (square inches)
