To calculate the unit rate or the ratio of two measurements, you simply divide one measurement by the other and express the result as a fraction, often in the form of "X per Y" where X is the first measurement and Y is the second measurement.
For example, if you have two measurements:
- Measurement A: 50 miles
- Measurement B: 2 hours
To find the unit rate (miles per hour), you would perform the division:
\[ \text{Unit Rate} = \frac{\text{Measurement A}}{\text{Measurement B}} = \frac{50 \text{ miles}}{2 \text{ hours}} = 25 \text{ miles per hour} \]
If you provide specific measurements, I can help you calculate the unit rate for those.
