Question

Find the unit rate. 30 newspapers in 2 piles = newspapers per pile

Answer 1

Answer:

15 newspapers

Step-by-step explanation:

30 newspapers spread over 2 piles is 30/2 = 15 newspapers

The question doesn't say spread but in language if it doesn't separate we can say the group word spread as it is most likely to be a group total of 30 spread over 2 piles.

Answer 2

30 newspapers/2 piles = 15 newspapers/1 pile

It’s just reducing 30/2 into a fraction with a denominator of 1.
