Question

Rewrite 3/2 : 1/4 as a unite rate

Answer 1

6 : 1

Explanation:

A unit rate has to be "a number to 1" or "x:1". Here we have a number to 1/4. Multiply both numbers by 4 so the 1/4 becomes 1.

3/2 * 4 = 12/2 = 6

1/4 * 4 = 1

3/2 : 1/4 is the same as 6 : 1

Answer 2

The unit rate = 6

Explanation:

To find the unit rate, divide the numerator and denominator of the given ratio.

Given : 3/2 : 1/4

Which can be written as
`(3)/(2) / (1)/(4)`

If we have fraction over fraction, we can flip the denominator fraction and multiply.

Therefore,
`(3)/(2) * (4)/(1)`

= 12/2

= 6

The unit rate = 6

Thank you.
