Rates and Unit Rates (Example)

The video tutorial explains how a candy shop charges based on the weight of candy, costing $4 for five ounces. It introduces the concept of a unit rate, which is a rate with a denominator of one, and demonstrates how to calculate the cost per ounce by dividing $4 by 5 ounces, resulting in a unit rate of $0.80 per ounce.

What is the cost for five ounces of candy at the shop?

• $6.00

• $5.00

• $4.00

• $3.00

What does a unit rate represent in this context?

• The total cost of all candy

• The cost per ounce of candy

• The weight of the candy bag

• The number of candies in the bag

How do you calculate the unit rate for the candy?

• Multiply the total cost by the number of ounces

• Divide the total cost by the number of ounces

• Add the total cost to the number of ounces

• Subtract the number of ounces from the total cost

What is the unit rate for the candy in dollars per ounce?

• $0.80

• $0.60

• $0.50

• $0.70

If the cost for 10 ounces of candy is $8.00, what is the unit rate?
