what us a unit rate
Unit rate is a cost or value per 1 unit. Example: If I buy 12 oranges for $3.95, what is the unit rate or the cost of 1 orange? Well, we just divide the total cost by the total number of oranges: $3.95 / 12 =.33 cents per orange. So, 1 orange would cost about 33 cents, which is called a "unit rate".
