find the unit rate

Question

12 chairs at 2 tables = _________ chairs per table

Answer 1

To find the unit rate of chairs per table, divide the total number of chairs by the number of tables.

You have 12 chairs and 2 tables:

$$\text{Chairs per table}=\frac{\text{Total chairs}}{\text{Number of tables}}=\frac{12\text{ chairs}}{2\text{ tables}}=6\text{ chairs per table}$$

So, the unit rate is $6$ chairs per table.
