Math Problem Statement

Drag each rate into the box labeled Unit Rate or Not Unit Rate.

Solution

Let's break down the problem by identifying whether each rate is a "Unit Rate" or "Not a Unit Rate."

A unit rate is a ratio where the denominator is 1, typically expressed as something per 1 unit of measure.

Analysis of Each Rate:

  1. 60 miles per hour – This is a unit rate because it's per one hour.
  2. 168 hours in 7 days – This is not a unit rate because it's per 7 days, not per one day.
  3. 34 miles for each gallon – This is a unit rate because it's per one gallon.
  4. $15 for 2 DVDs – This is not a unit rate because it's for 2 DVDs, not one.
  5. $8 for every hour – This is a unit rate because it's per one hour.
  6. 22 words per minute – This is a unit rate because it's per one minute.

Final Classification:

Unit Rate:

  • 60 miles per hour
  • 34 miles for each gallon
  • $8 for every hour
  • 22 words per minute

Not a Unit Rate:

  • 168 hours in 7 days
  • $15 for 2 DVDs

  2. What are some examples of unit rates in real-life situations?
  3. How do unit rates help in comparing quantities?
  4. How can you convert a non-unit rate to a unit rate?
  5. How are unit rates used in speed, price, or efficiency calculations?

Tip: To identify a unit rate, look for how much of one thing there is per 1 unit of another (e.g., per 1 hour, per 1 gallon).
