Unit Rates

Reteach

A rate is a ratio that compares two different kinds of quantities or

measurements.

3 aides for 24 students 135 words in 3 minutes 7 ads per 4 pages

3 aides 135 words 7 ads
24 students 3 minutes 4 pages

Express each comparison as a rate in ratio form.

1. 70 students per 2 teachers 2. 3 books in 2 months 3. $52 for 4 hours of work

________________________ ________________________ ________________________

In a unit rate, the quantity in the denominator is 1.

300 miles in 6 hours 275 square feet in 25 minutes

300 miles 300 6 50 miles 275 ft 2 275 25 11 ft 2
= = = =
6 hours 66 1 hour 25 min 25 25 1 min

Express each comparison as a unit rate. Show your work.

4. 28 patients for 2 nurses _____________________________________________________

5. 5 quarts for every 2 pounds __________________________________________________

When one or both of the quantities being compared is a fraction, the rate
is expressed as a complex fraction. Unit rates can be used to simplify
rates containing fractions.
