Answer 1

To express rates as unit rates, divide the given quantity by the number of items.

Step-by-step explanation:

To express a rate as a unit rate, we need to divide the given quantity by the given number of items. In the first example, there are 72 ounces in 6 steaks. To find the unit rate, we divide 72 by 6, which gives us 12 ounces per steak. In the second example, Marcella has 40.8 gallons of paint divided among 8 containers.
