Key facts behind this grade 7 unit rates worksheet

Key facts
  • A unit rate has 1 as its second quantity, such as 2 miles per 1 hour.
  • With fractions, write a complex fraction and divide: \(a/b \div c/d = a/b \times d/c\).
  • Dividing by a fraction means multiplying by its reciprocal.
  • Compare rates by finding each unit rate: a lower unit price is the better buy, and a higher speed is faster.
  • Every rate has two unit rates, and they are reciprocals of each other.
