Question

What rewrite 4/6 : 1/3 as a unit rate

Answer 1

The answer is 2:1

Explanation:

what is a unit rate?

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.

When writing a unit rate the denominator is always 1

If you want to obtain a unit rate you divide both quantities by the second one.

Answer 2

unit rate is 2

Explanation:

Notice that if we multiply both '1' and '3' in 1/3 by 2, we get:

4/6 : 2/6,

which reduces to 4/2, or 2, which is the desired unit rate.
