Struggling to compare prices or calculate earnings? Unit rate is your superpower! It's simply the rate for *one* unit of something. Think price per apple, miles per gallon, or earnings per hour.
Why is it so powerful? Because it allows for easy comparison. Let's say you're choosing between two boxes of cereal: one costs $4 for 16 ounces, and the other costs $3 for 12 ounces. Which is cheaper? Calculate the unit rate for each! The first is $4/16 oz = $0.25/oz. The second is $3/12 oz = $0.25/oz. They're the same price per ounce!
To find the unit rate, divide the total amount by the number of units. Use this skill to make smart buying decisions, calculate your earning potential, and solve all sorts of everyday problems. Master unit rate, master your money (and more!).
