Rates & Unit Rates
📋 What it is
A rate compares different units; a unit rate is "per one" (miles per hour, price per item).
🗣️ Coach says
A rate compares different things — miles and hours, dollars and items. A UNIT rate boils it down to "per one": $6 for 3 apples is $2 per apple. Unit rates make comparing deals easy.
