When rates are expressed as a quantity of 1, such as 2 feet per second or 5 miles per hour, they are called unit rates.
to find the unit rate of this problem you divide 162 by 70 which is 2.31

-- (162 games) / (70 homers) = average of 2.314 games per home run.

-- (70 homers) / (162 games) = average of 0.432 home run per game.
