Finding unit Rates


When the denominator of a rate is 1, we call the rate a unit rate. We usually use the key word per or
the division symbol / to indicate a unit rate. For example:
If a student earns $8.50 per hour, it is the same as $8.50/hour, and means $8.50 for every 1 hour of
work.
Find each unit rate. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
