6 pounds in 16 years = x pound(s) in 1 year

To get from 16 to 1, you need to divide 16 by itself (16). This equals 1

You need to do the same to find the value of x; divide by 16.
6 divided by 16 equals 0.375 pounds, which is the same as 6 ounces.

Remember, unit rate is the value of 1 quantity related to another Foe example, the cost of 1 pound or any “unit” of something is a unit rate.
