Unit rate

Since 31 hens laid 93 eggs, then we know that 93 eggs per 31 hens are, that is represented by the fraction

93 eggs / 31 hens

in order to find the unit rate for eggs per​ hen we just divide those quatities

Since 93/31 = 3 then

93 eggs / 31 hens = 3 eggs / hen

Answer: the unit rate is 3 eggs per hen
