Hey Jbaez :) Let me give you an example and hopefully it will help you determine the solution to your question.

zepdrix (zepdrix):

If I drove my car `120 miles` in `2 hours`, that doesn't tell us a `unit rate`. We would like to know what speed I was averaging `per hour`. So if I was going 120 miles in 2 hours, Then I was going 60 miles in 1 hour. We would write this as \(\Large\rm 60mph\) <--- 60 miles per hour. Or `60 miles` per `1 hour`. This is a `unit rate` because the hours are written in terms of `1 hour`.
