Unit Rates

A Unit rate is a rate in which the rate is expressed as a quantity of 1. example: if a car goes 60km a hour the unit rate is 60. Q&A: question:If Bobby bought 2.5 Kgs of rice for $7.5, then what is the unit price of rice?Answer: Here the denominator should be 2.5 Kg and numerator is the price $7.5. The unit price of rice would thus be 7.5/2.5 = 3 $/Kg.
