Question

Find the unit rate. $3.50 for 7 cans

$0.15 per can
$0.7 per can
$0.3 per can
$0.9 per can

Answer 1

The unit rate of can = $0.5 per can

Explanation:

Unit Rate: The rate per piece/item/unit is termed as the UNIT RATE.

Now here, rate of 7 cans = $3.50

To find the Unit Rate.

`\textrm{Unit Rate}  = \frac{\textrm{Total Cost of n items}}{\textrm{n}}`

So, here
`\textrm{Unit Rate of 1 can}  = \frac{\textrm{Total Cost of 7 items}}{\textrm{7}} = (3.50)/(7)   = 0.5`

or, the Unit Rate = $0.5

Hence, the unit rate of can = $0.5 per can
