To find the unit rate for 1 bag of chips when 5 bags cost $6.25, you can divide the total cost by the number of bags:

\[ \text{Cost per bag} = \frac{\text{Total Cost}}{\text{Number of Bags}} = \frac{6.25}{5} \]

Calculating this:

\[ \frac{6.25}{5} = 1.25 \]

So, the unit rate for 1 bag of chips is $1.25.
