No problem! I can help you understand rates and unit rates.
A rate is a comparison between two different quantities of the same kind. It describes how one quantity changes in relation to another quantity. For example, if you travel 200 miles in 4 hours, the rate of your travel would be 200 miles per 4 hours.
A unit rate is a special type of rate in which the denominator is 1. It represents the amount of something happening per 1 unit of another quantity. Unit rates are helpful for making comparisons and calculations because they are standardized.
To illustrate, let's say you traveled 200 miles in 4 hours, as mentioned before. The unit rate would be 50 miles per hour because you traveled 50 miles in 1 hour (200 miles รท 4 hours = 50 miles/hour).
To find a unit rate, divide the numerator (the quantity you have) by the denominator (the quantity it is being compared to), making sure the denominator is 1.
Understanding rates and unit rates is important in many practical situations, like calculating distances per time or cost per quantity. It can help you comprehend speed, prices, and ratios.
