A unit rate is one in which the second number of the ratio is 1 - in some suitable units.

For example, 10 kilometres in 30 minutes can be converted to a unit rate as

20 kilometres per hour or 1/3 km per minute (or however many km per year, etc).

How can you write ratios of fractions as unit rates in order to solve problems?

To write ratios of fractions as unit rates, first express the ratio as a single fraction by dividing the two fractions. This can be done by multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second. Once converted into a single fraction, simplify it to find the unit rate, which shows how much of one quantity corresponds to one unit of another. This method helps to solve problems by providing a clear comparison between the two quantities involved.
