• A rate is a ratio that compares two quantities with different units.

In a unit rate, the first measurement is compared with one unit of a second measurement.

You can find a unit rate by dividing the numerator and denominator by the second value.

Here's an example:

24 pencils cost $1.20; how much will 6 pencils cost?

  • Rate: $1.20 for 24 pencils
  • Unit rate: Price per pencil = $1.20 ÷ 24 = $0.05, or 5 cents per pencil.
