Rates

• Rates and Unit Rates are types of ratios. A rate is a ratio that compares quantities measured in different units, such as miles per gallon. A unit rate is the rate for one unit of a quantity.
• To find a unit rate, divide the denominator by itself, and divide the numerator by the same number.
• Comparing unit rates can help you find the better buy when comparing different quantities of the same amount.
