A sewing pattern calls for 1/2 meter of red ribbon and 1/5 meter of blue ribbon. What is the unit rate in meters of red ribbon per meter of blue ribbon?

Answer 1

Hello!

The unit rate would be 2.5.

Because you take the 2 out of 1/2 and get the unit rate.

Hope this helped. :)

Answer 2

Hello!

First you have to find how many sections of blue ribbon makes 1 meter

1/5 * 5 = 1

It takes 5 sections of blue ribbon to make one meter of blue ribbon

Multiply this by the sections of red ribbon

1/2 * 5 = 2.5

The answer is 2.5 meters of red ribbon for every meter of blue ribbon

Hope this helps!
