Answer:

To find the unit rate, divide the numerator and denominator of the given rate by the denominator of the given rate. So in this case, divide the numerator and denominator of 70/5 by 5, to get 14/1, or 14 students per class, which is the unit rate.

Also, what are unit rates? A rate is a special ratio in which the two terms are in different units. For example, if a 12-ounce can of corn costs 69¢, the rate is 69¢ for 12 ounces. When rates are expressed as a quantity of 1, such as 2 feet per second or 5 miles per hour, they are called unit rates.
