Question

A goalie makes 12 saves in 4 games. What is the unit rate of saves per​ game?

Answer 1

12 saves/ 4 games = 3 saves/ 1 game = 3 saves per game

Explanation:

A ration is basically a division problem. Divide until you get a denominator of 1.

12/ 4 = 3/ 1

So, if he makes 12 saves in 4 games, then he makes 3 saves per game.

Answer 2

3 saves per day

Explanation:

Since we are finding the number of saves per day, our first dividor will be the number of saves, then we divide by the other number. We have 12 saves in total, and four games, so we will have to divide.

12 divided by 4 is equal to 3.

The answer to the question must be 3.
