Question

9 mugs for $45rate = ___unit rate _____

Answer 1

So, you have

$\frac{\text{ \ 45}}{9\text{ mugs}}\Rightarrow\text{ Rate}$

On the other hand

$\begin{gathered} \frac{\text{ \ 45}}{9\text{ mugs}} \\ \text{ Divide by 9 in the numerator and denominator} \\ \frac{\text{ }\frac{\text{\ 45}}{9}}{\frac{9\text{ mugs}}{9}}=\frac{\text{ \ }5}{1\text{ mug}}\Rightarrow\text{ Price per mug} \\ \text{ Then} \\ \frac{\text{ \ }5}{1\text{ mug}}\Rightarrow\text{ Unit rate} \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the rate is

$\frac{\text{ \ 45}}{9\text{ mugs}}$

and the unit rate is

$\frac{\text{ \ }5}{1\text{ mug}}$
