Question
About 4,000 new species of marine animals were discovered in the last 2 years. What is the unit rate of discovery?(1 point)
Responses
The unit rate of discovery is 2,000 new species of marine animals per year.
To find the unit rate of discovery, we need to divide the total number of new species discovered (4,000) by the number of years (2) they were discovered in.
So the unit rate of discovery is 4,000 divided by 2.
Unit rate of discovery = 4,000 / 2 = 2,000 species per year.
To find the unit rate of discovery, you need to divide the total number of new species discovered by the number of years. In this case, we are given that 4,000 new species were discovered in the last 2 years.
To calculate the unit rate, divide the total number of new species (4,000) by the number of years (2):
Unit rate = Total number of new species / Number of years
Unit rate = 4,000 / 2
Unit rate = 2,000
Therefore, the unit rate of discovery is 2,000 new species per year.
