Answer 1

To find the unit rate in balloons per gift basket, you can divide the total number of balloons by the total number of gift baskets.

Given:

- Total balloons = 80
- Total gift baskets = 20

The calculation is as follows:

\[
\text{Unit rate} = \frac{\text{Total balloons}}{\text{Total gift baskets}} = \frac{80 \text{ balloons}}{20 \text{ gift baskets}} = 4 \text{ balloons per gift basket}
\]

So, the unit rate is **4 balloons per gift basket**.
