Question

Find the unit rate: 48 slices from 3 cakes = Slices per cake

Answer 1

Explanation:

Slices made from 3 cakes = 48

Slices made from 1 cake = 48 ÷ 3 = 16

16 slices are made from 1 cake.

Answer 2

Hi!

First, we must divide 48 by 3, because that will give us the number of slices per cake.

The unit rate is a rate for one of something, therefore we must find the # of slices per one piece of cake.

48 / 3 = 16

Therefore, there are 16 slices per cake, or 16/1.
