Question

Find the unit rate 12 cupcakes in 3 boxes =

Answer 1

Answer: 4

Step-by-step explanation: "Per box" means in 1 box so we can rewrite the given statement using fractions like I have done in the image below.

To find out what goes in the blank, notice that we

have a 1 in the denominator of our second fraction.

So we want to find a fraction that is equivalent

to 12/3 that has a 1 in the denominator.

If we divide the numerator and denominator of 12/3 by 3,

we get the equivalent fraction 4/1 or 4 cupcakes over 1 box.

So now we have 4 cupcakes over 1 box = __ cupcakes over 1 box.

So a 4 must go in the blank.

So 4 cupcakes per box.

Answer 2

4 cupcakes per box

Explanation:

If there is 12 cupcakes in 3 boxes, you can divide 12 by 3 and get 4 which is how many cupcakes are in one box.
