How Do You Convert a Rate To A Unit Rate?

'min.' stands for minutes
A unit rate is a rate that has 1 in the denominator
We'll have to divide both the numerator and denominator by 3 to create a denominator of 1 while keeping the value of our ratio the same
'mi.' stands for miles, and 'hr.' stands for hours
Once you have a unit rate, you can just write it as the numerator, with the units in a fraction by themselves

1. A unit rate is a rate that has 1 in the denominator
2. We can divide the top and bottom of the rate by 3 to make sure the denominator is a 1

1. So instead of dividing the numerator and denominator by the same number, we can divide the numerator by the denominator
2. If we did this with 40 words per 2 minutes, we'd have 40 divided by 2, which is 20!
3. If we did this with 5 miles per 2 hours, we'd have 5 divided by 2, which is 2.5!

Convert the Rates: 6 Miles Per 3 Hours, 40 Words Per 2 Minutes, and 5 Miles Per 2 Hours Into Unit Rates.
