To find the unit rate of flowers per vase, you need to divide the total number of flowers by the total number of vases.

Given:

  • Total flowers = 112
  • Total vases = 14

Now, calculate the unit rate:

\[ \text{Unit rate} = \frac{\text{Total flowers}}{\text{Total vases}} = \frac{112}{14} = 8 \]

Therefore, the unit rate is 8 flowers per vase.
