The problem is asking to write the rate of the cost per square foot of laminate flooring in lowest terms.

We are given:

- The total cost: \$25
- The total area: 7 square feet

The rate can be found by dividing the total cost by the total area:

\[
\text{Rate} = \frac{25}{7} \, \text{dollars per square foot}
\]

Since 25 and 7 have no common factors, this is already in its lowest terms. Therefore, the rate is:

\[
\frac{25}{7} \, \text{dollars per square foot}
\]

or approximately:

\[
\approx 3.57 \, \text{dollars per square foot}
\]

4. What are some real-world applications of unit rates?
5. How can you convert between units when working with rates (e.g., feet to meters)?

**Tip:** When simplifying fractions, always check if the numerator and denominator share any common factors.
