Question

If the number in the numerator of a unit rate is one what does this indicate about the equivalent unit rates give an example

Answer 1

You have a quantity of one compared to another quantity 1 cat/5dogs that means for every 5 dogs there is 1 cat

Answer 2

A fraction is mainly used to show the ratio between two quantities.

Having one in the numerator of a unit rate means that for every "one" unit of the numerator there are "n" units of the denominator.

Examples to illustrate this:

`(boys)/(girls) = (1)/(3)`
This means that in a certain place, for every one boy there are 3 girls


`(days)/(pages)` =
`(1)/(5)`
This means that for every day you read 5 pages

Hope this helps :)
