The three statements that represent a unit rate are:
A. Carrots cost $2 per pound. (This expresses the cost per one unit of weight, which is a unit rate.)
C. It takes Juan 3 hours to drive 165 miles. (This can be simplified to show the rate of miles per hour.)
E. A teacher divides her students so that there are 1 student per group. (This expresses the number of students per unit, which is a unit rate.)
Statements B and D do not represent unit rates because they involve multiple items rather than a rate per single unit.
