Question

Show how to find the unit rate of oats to quinoa. Tell what the unit rate means.

Answer 1

Answer:

The unit rate is 4 cups of oats per a cup of quinoa

Unit Rate is a ratio of two measurements in which the 2nd term is 1

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain the meaning of unit rate

- A rate is a ratio that is used to compare different types of quantities

- A unit rate describes how many units of the first type of quantity

 corresponds to one unit of the second type of quantity

- To calculate the unit rates, we simply divide the two numbers

  in a fraction with denominator equal 1

- Ex:

# The unit rate of 50 miles per 5 hours is 50/5 = 10 miles per hour

# The unit rate of $20 dollars for 5 books is 20/4 = 5 dollars per book

∴ Unit Rate is a ratio of two measurements in which the 2nd term is 1

* Lets find the unit rate of oats to quinoa

∵ There are 2 cups of oats

∵ There is a 1/2 cup of quinoa

∵ We need the unit rate of oats to quinoa

- Divide the quantity of oats by the quantity of quinoa

∴ 2/(1/2) ⇒ multiply up and down by 2

∴ (2 × 2)/(1/2 × 2) = 4/1

∴ The unit rate is 4 cups of oats per a cup of quinoa
