Let's solve each problem step by step. We are asked to
find the ratio and unit rate for each situation.
---
What is a Ratio?
A
ratio compares two quantities. For example, if there are 75 pints of juice in 5 containers, the ratio is
75:5 or
75/5.
What is a Unit Rate?
A
unit rate is a rate where the second quantity is 1. It tells you "how much per one unit." To find it, divide the first quantity by the second.
