A unit rate in math is the single rate of which something is happening.

Ex: John buys 6 bags of peanuts for $4.56. How much did he pay for each bag. TO find this out you would divide 4.56/6=0.76

0.76 per bag.

Just an example

Hello!


A unit rate is the total cost for a single item.


Example: 10 dollars for 2 brooms (idk xD)

You would divide it. 10 ÷ 2 = 5

It would be 5 dollars for 1 broom

^ Unit rate


Hope this helps! Have a lovely day! ~Pooch ♥
