find the unit rate

Question

48 houses on 4 blocks=__________ houses per block

Answer 1

To find the unit rate of houses per block, you divide the total number of houses by the total number of blocks.

\[ \text{Unit rate} = \frac{\text{Total houses}}{\text{Total blocks}} = \frac{48 \text{ houses}}{4 \text{ blocks}} = 12 \text{ houses per block} \]

So, the unit rate is 12 houses per block.
