In this question, you're trying to find the unit rate in which the teacher can grade tests.

A unit rate is another word for "rate of change".

This means that we have to find how many tests the teacher could grade in 1 minute.

To find the unit rate, divide 18 by 15

18 รท 15 = 1.2

This means that Mr. Rivera can grade 1.2 tests in 1 minute.

Answer:

1.2 tests
