Let’s solve each problem one by one.
We’re finding the
unit rate — that means we want to know how much of something happens
per 1 unit (like per game, per second, per row, etc.).
To find the unit rate, we
divide the total amount by the number of units.
---
1. 330 points in 6 games
→ Divide 330 by 6:
330 ÷ 6 =
55 points per game
---
2. 3.6 centimeters in 2 seconds
→ Divide 3.6 by 2:
3.6 ÷ 2 =
1.8 centimeters per second
---
3. 225 seats in 15 rows
→ Divide 225 by 15:
225 ÷ 15 =
15 seats per row
---
4. 136 boys in 8 groups
→ Divide 136 by 8:
136 ÷ 8 =
17 boys per group
---
5. 192 calls per 8 hours
→ Divide 192 by 8:
192 ÷ 8 =
24 calls per hour
---
6. 14 eggs every 28 days
→ Divide 14 by 28:
14 ÷ 28 =
0.5 eggs per day
*(That’s half an egg per day — maybe it’s averaged over time!)*
---
7. 460 pages per 4 days
→ Divide 460 by 4:
460 ÷ 4 =
115 pages per day
---
8. 114 miles on 6 gallons of gas
→ Divide 114 by 6:
114 ÷ 6 =
19 miles per gallon
---
9. $270 for 18 hours of work
→ Divide 270 by 18:
270 ÷ 18 =
$15 per hour
---
10. $5.50 for 10 apples
→ Divide 5.50 by 10:
5.50 ÷ 10 =
$0.55 per apple
---
11. 54 goals in 36 games
→ Divide 54 by 36:
54 ÷ 36 =
1.5 goals per game
---
12. 128 mistakes every 8 tests
→ Divide 128 by 8:
128 ÷ 8 =
16 mistakes per test
---
13. $22.80 for 8 books
→ Divide 22.80 by 8:
22.80 ÷ 8 =
$2.85 per book
---
14. 438 kilometers per 6 hours
→ Divide 438 by 6:
438 ÷ 6 =
73 kilometers per hour
---
Final Answer:
1. 55 points per game
2. 1.8 cm per second
3. 15 seats per row
4. 17 boys per group
5. 24 calls per hour
6. 0.5 eggs per day
7. 115 pages per day
8. 19 miles per gallon
9. $15 per hour
10. $0.55 per apple
11. 1.5 goals per game
12. 16 mistakes per test
13. $2.85 per book
14. 73 km per hour
