Let’s solve each problem one by one. We’re finding the
unit rate — that means “how much for 1” of something (like per minute, per hour, per pound, etc.).

Problem 1:
Alya reads 90 pages in half an hour. How many pages per minute?
→ Half an hour = 30 minutes
→ So, 90 pages ÷ 30 minutes = ?
90 ÷ 30 = 3
✔ She reads
3 pages per minute.

Problem 2:
Tyler drives 200 miles in 3 hours. How fast is he driving? (miles per hour)
→ Unit rate = total miles ÷ total hours
→ 200 ÷ 3 = ?
Let’s calculate:
3 × 66 = 198 → remainder 2
So, 200 ÷ 3 = 66 and 2/3 ≈ 66.67
But since this is a math worksheet, we can leave it as a fraction or decimal. Let’s use exact value:
200 ÷ 3 =
66⅔ miles per hour
(Or if they want decimal: 66.67 — but usually fractions are fine unless specified.)
✔ Answer:
66⅔ miles per hour

Problem 3:
Sarah bought 3 pounds of apples for $6. How much per pound?
→ $6 ÷ 3 pounds = ?
6 ÷ 3 = 2
✔ Each pound costs
$2 per pound
---
Problem 4:
Cameron paid $10 for 2 movie tickets. How much per ticket?
→ $10 ÷ 2 tickets = ?
10 ÷ 2 = 5
✔ Each ticket costs
$5 per ticket
---
Problem 5:
Brianna has 120 boxes of cereal to put on 4 shelves. How many boxes per shelf?
→ 120 boxes ÷ 4 shelves = ?
120 ÷ 4 = 30
✔ She can put
30 boxes per shelf
---
Final Answer:
1. 3 pages per minute
2. 66⅔ miles per hour
3. $2 per pound
4. $5 per ticket
5. 30 boxes per shelf
