What do you do if an unit rate has a remainder?

Answer 1

A unit rate cannot have a remainder. A unit rate is a ration that has the unit as one and the rate has to be equal. If not, you either did a calculation mistake or the ratio is not a unit rate.

Answer 2

If a unit rate has a remainder, it means that the division did not result in a whole number. In this case, you can either round the unit rate up or down to the nearest whole number, depending on the context of the problem. Alternatively, you can express the unit rate as a mixed number or a decimal to show the remainder more precisely. Remember to consider the impact of rounding on the accuracy of your calculations.
