Ratios and Rates
A ratio that compares two quantities measured in different units is a rate. Suppose Ms. Latocki drove 75 miles in 3 hours. Her rate of travel was 75 miles in 3 hours, or
75 mi
3 hr

10. Course 2

Ratios and Rates
If the measure of the second quantity in a rate is one unit, then the rate is a unit rate. To change a rate to a unit rate, divide both the numerator and denominator by the number in the denominator.
75 mi
3 hr
75 mi ÷ 3
3hr ÷ 3
25 mi
1 hr = =
The unit rate 25 miles per hour expresses the average number of miles Ms. Latocki drove each hour.
