Unit rates can conveniently be multiplied by any desired number in order to answer questions about differently scaled questions. E.g. If three marbles cost 30 cents, how much will eleven marbles cost?
A unit rate is a ratio such as 30 cents : 3 marbles = 10 cents per (1) marble, after doing the division.
ratios, rates, and unit rates can be used to solve how much of something there is compared to another thing. Ex: There are 3 times the amount of apples compared to oranges. How many apples are there if you have 2 oranges? For a ratio, you would make it 3:1. Then substitute the 1 for 2. For a rate, you would make it 3 apples per oranges. Then do the same thing you would do for the ratio. Unit rates work the same way.
