To determine which of the options represent unit rates, we need to find out if they express a quantity per one unit of another quantity.

  • $5 / 2 sandwiches: This is not a unit rate because it does not express a quantity per one sandwich.

  • 70 miles / 1 hour: This is a unit rate because it expresses a distance per one hour (70 miles per hour).

  • 80 words per minute: This is a unit rate because it expresses a quantity of words per one minute.

  • 18 ounces in 1 serving: This can be considered a unit rate as it conveys the quantity of ounces per one serving.

  • $1.25 for 5 donuts: This is not a unit rate in the context of per one donut since it needs to be simplified to find the cost per one donut.

Thus, the options that represent unit rates are:

  • 70 miles/ 1 hour
  • 80 words per minute
  • 18 ounces in 1 serving
