Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 6.8 Understand Rates and Unit Rates skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A recipe makes 24 servings using 3.2 kilograms of flour. Reminder: 1 kilogram = 1000 grams. Which answer choice correctly identifies the unit rate in grams per serving?

A266.67 grams per serving

B133.33 grams per serving

C1 serving per 133.33 grams

D3200 grams for 24 servings

Solution & Explanation:Convert 3.2 kg to grams: 3.2 × 1000 = 3,200 g. Then 3,200 ÷ 24 = 133.33 (rounded). The unit rate is 133.33 grams per serving.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

A farmer fills 18 bags with 45 kilograms of potatoes total. Then he adds 1.8 kilograms more and refills the same 18 bags evenly. Which answer choice correctly identifies the new unit rate in kilograms per bag?

A2.6 kilograms per bag

B2.5 kilograms per bag

C0.1 kilograms per bag

D46.8 kilograms for 18 bags

Solution & Explanation:New total mass: 45 + 1.8 = 46.8 kilograms. Then 46.8 ÷ 18 = 2.6. The unit rate is 2.6 kilograms per bag.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A long-distance call costs $2.10 for the first 3 minutes and $0.35 for each additional minute. The call lasts 9 minutes total. Which answer choice correctly identifies the average cost in dollars per minute?

A$0.35 per minute

B$0.23 per minute

C$4.20 for 9 minutes

D$0.47 per minute

Solution & Explanation:Additional minutes: 9 − 3 = 6. Extra cost: 6 × $0.35 = $2.10. Total cost: $2.10 + $2.10 = $4.20. Average per minute: 4.20 ÷ 9 = $0.47 (rounded). So the unit rate is $0.47 per minute.
