find the unit rate

Question

36 newspapers in 4 plies=__________ newspapers per pile

Answer 1

To find the unit rate of newspapers per pile, you can divide the total number of newspapers by the number of piles.

Given:

• Total newspapers = 36
• Total piles = 4

Now calculate the unit rate:

\[ \text{Unit Rate} = \frac{\text{Total Newspapers}}{\text{Total Piles}} = \frac{36}{4} = 9 \]

So, there are 9 newspapers per pile.
