Of course! I can help you with unit rates. A unit rate is a comparison of two quantities with different units, expressed as a ratio. It tells you how much of one quantity corresponds to one unit of another quantity.

To find the unit rate, you need to divide one quantity by the other. Here's a step-by-step process:

Step 1: Identify the quantities you want to compare. For example, let's say you want to find the unit rate for miles per hour.

Step 2: Write down the values for each quantity. For example, you may have traveled 350 miles in 7 hours.

Step 3: Divide the first quantity by the second quantity. In this case, divide 350 miles by 7 hours.

Step 4: Simplify or reduce the ratio, if necessary. For our example, 350 divided by 7 is equal to 50. So the unit rate is 50 miles per hour.

It's important to make sure the units are consistent when calculating the unit rate. If the units are different, you may need to convert them to a common unit before dividing.
