Question

6 Pencils for 13 Dollars
Write the rate as a unit rate for the above problem and solve the problem

Answer 1

A unit rate has a denominator of 1...you are wanting to find out how much 1 pencil costs.

6/13 = 1/x....6 pencils to $13 = 1 pencil for $x
now we cross multiply because this is a proportion
6x = 13 -- now divide by 6 on both sides
x = 13/6
x = 2.166 rounds to $2.17

so the unit rate is 2.17/1
