You need to do 10 divided by 4. Each friend would get 2.5 pounds of a nut.
The unit rate is another way of saying speed, so we divide the distance over the time. We can pick on any row
If we pick row 1, then, speed = distance/time = 90/2 = 45
Row 2 says the same thing: 135/3 = 45
So does row 3: 225/5 = 45
and so on
Because the speed is 45 mph, the unit rate is 45 miles in one hour. The term "unit" implies how much distance can be covered in one unit of time, in this case 1 hour.
You have the correct answer. Nice work.
Use easy numbers if you get confused on problems like these.
I'm going to use 12 instead of c.
Since you have 12 pieces of candy and 6 friends, each friend would get 2 pieces, because 12/6=2.
Now, substitute c for 12, and you get c/6.
Hope this helps!
