Answer 1

unit rate is how much 1 thing is.....um...not to good at explaining
example :
1 shirt costs $10 -- this is per unit rate
2 shirts cost $20 -- this is not

1 day is 24 hrs -- this is unit rate
2 days is 48 hrs -- this is not

kinda understand ?

Answer 2

Yeah that makes a little sense.

Answer 3

do you have an idea what the answer is

Answer 4

maybe B?

Answer 5

no it is not....
if it said 99 cents for 1 pencil, it would be unit rate....telling you how much 1 unit (pencil) cost

Answer 6

wanna try again

Answer 7

Maybe d beings it is more than one? Sorry

Answer 8

not d .....it would have to say something like 1 magazine for $12.50......not 18 magazines.
Take a look at C..
16 ft per second.......so it is 16 ft for every 1 second. (This is unit rate)
