Which of the following represents a unit rate?
A. 3 miles per hour
B. 5 apples
C. 2 cups of sugar
A. 3 miles per hour
a
To determine which of the following options represents a unit rate, we need to understand what a unit rate is.
A unit rate compares a quantity of one item to one unit of another item. This means that the denominator of the ratio should always be one.
Let's look at the options you provided:
a) 2 miles per hour
b) $5 for 3 items
c) 10 miles in 2 hours
d) 20 books for $10
Option a) 2 miles per hour: This represents a unit rate because it compares 2 miles to 1 hour.
Option b) $5 for 3 items: This does not represent a unit rate because it compares $5 to 3 items, which is not a ratio of one item to one unit.
Option c) 10 miles in 2 hours: This does not represent a unit rate because it compares 10 miles to 2 hours, not one unit of time.
Option d) 20 books for $10: This does not represent a unit rate because it compares 20 books to $10, not one unit of money.
Therefore, the correct option that represents a unit rate is option a) 2 miles per hour.
To determine which of the following represents a unit rate, we need to understand what a unit rate is. A unit rate is a comparison of two different quantities where the denominator of the comparison is one.
Now, can you provide me with the options you have for me to check and determine which one represents a unit rate?
