Sure, here are some examples of unit rate with fractions:
1. A recipe calls for 3/4 cup of sugar for every 2 cups of flour. What is the unit rate of sugar per cup of flour?
To find the unit rate, we need to divide the amount of sugar by the amount of flour. So, the unit rate is:
3/4 ÷ 2 = 3/8 cup of sugar per cup of flour
2. A car travels 5/8 of a mile in 1/4 of an hour. What is the unit rate of the car's speed in miles per hour?
To find the unit rate, we need to convert the time to hours (since the unit we want is miles per hour). So, 1/4 of an hour is equivalent to 0.25 hours. Then, we can divide the distance by the time to get the unit rate:
5/8 ÷ 0.25 = 2.5 miles per hour
3. A store sells 2/3 pound of ground beef for $4.50. What is the unit rate of the cost per pound of ground beef?
To find the unit rate, we need to divide the cost by the amount of ground beef. So, the unit rate is:
$4.50 ÷ 2/3 = $6.75 per pound of ground beef
