Answer 1

To find the miles per hour unit rate, divide the entire distance (in miles) by the total time (in hours). Andy ran 15 miles in 3 hours in this scenario.

Miles per hour unit rate = Total distance Total time

Miles per hour unit rate = 15 miles 3 hours

5 miles per hour is the unit rate of miles per hour.

To get the price per pound of grapes, divide the entire cost by the total weight of grapes. Andy spent $55.32 for 4 pounds of grapes in this example.

Total cost x Total weight = Unit price per pound of grapes

4 pounds = $55.32 unit price per pound of grapes

The unit price of grapes is $13.83 per pound.
