Answer: $7.50 per ticket

Step-by-step explanation: To solve this problem, we can rewrite the given statement using fractions.

All my work will be attached in the image provided.

to find out what will go in the blank, notice that we have a 1 in the denominator of our second fraction so we want to find a fraction that is equivalent to 37.50/5 that has a 1 in the denominator.

If we divide the numerator and the denominator of 37.50/5 by 5, we get the equivalent fraction 7.50/1 or $7.50 for 1 movie ticket.

This means that the unit rate for $37.50 for 5 movie tickets is $7.50 per ticket.
