OB.
a rate in which the numerator and the denominator are equal
Ос.
a rate with one in the denominator
OD
a rate in which the denominator is greater than the numerator

Answer 1

A. A rate with one in the numerator

Explanation:

We can find the unit rate when given a rate by dividing the unit in the numerator by the quantity in the denominator. For example, if we are given the rate $4.50/5 gallons of milk, we can divide 4.50 by 5 to find the unit price, which is dollars per one gallon of milk. A unit rate means a rate for one of something. We write this as a ratio with a denominator of one. For example, if you ran 70 yards in 10 seconds, you ran on average 7 yards in 1 second. Both of the ratios, 70 yards in 10 seconds and 7 yards in 1 second, are rates, but the 7 yards in 1 second is a unit rate.

Answer 2

C. A rate with one (1) in the denominator

A unit rate is basically a ratio of something to one.

example:

if 10 bananas costs ten dollars then one banana would cost one dollar.
