Estimate the unit rate if 12 pairs
of socks sell for $5.79.
6/12 = ______ per pair
482
To find the unit rate, we need to determine the cost of one pair of socks. To do this, we divide the total cost by the number of pairs sold.
The total cost of 12 pairs of socks is $5.79.
To find the cost per pair, we divide $5.79 by 12:
$5.79 รท 12 = $0.4825 (rounded to four decimal places)
Therefore, the unit rate is approximately $0.4825 per pair of socks.
