Question

It cost $1.25 for a quarter pound of birdseed. what is the unit rate and what does it represent?

Answer 1

Hi there!

To find the unit rate, we need to find the amount of money per pound of birdseed.

Since 1.25 dollars is 1/4 a pound of birdseed, we can say that

1.25 × 4 = the cost per pound of birdseed.

1.25 × 4 = 5

So, the answer is 5/1.
This unit rate represents the cost per pyjamas of birdseed.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

The unit rate would be 1.25 x 4 which is 5 dollars. It represents how much you pay for ONE pound of birdseed because 4, $1.25 servings of a quarter pound is one pound.

Hope this helps!
