Unit Rate

We say your heart beats 70 beats per minute, which is also 70 beats/ min. The beats/ min is called the unit rate.

Example: Brandon runs 260m in 5s

260/5 = 52 m per secs

Comparing Prices Using Unit Rates

(Oz) turn into a decimal

(16oz) = 0.16 | (64oz) = 0.64

Price/size

3.30/0.16 = 20.63/oz

8.60/0.64 = 13.44/oz

The better buy is the 16oz of peanut butter.
