Unit Rates Minutes per Task

Print the page and read the directions with your child: Find each unit rate. Show your work in the box. Write the answer on the line. When they finish, check the work together with the answer key.

A note explains that a unit rate tells how much of one quantity goes with 1 unit of another and that you divide to find it. Six problems use daily tasks: Jordan reads 36 pages in 48 minutes, Mia folds 15 shirts in 30 minutes, Sam walks 3 miles in 54 minutes, and Theo and Rae compare typing speeds. The directions on the page read: Find each unit rate. Show your work in the box. Write the answer on the line. An answer key is included.

Yes, both. We made it for 6th Grade ratios, and the page works the same whether it lands on a kitchen table or a center rotation. At home, most families go through it together and talk the answers out loud, and that talking is where most of the learning happens with rates and unit rates. In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.

Divide the first quantity by the second. Ava drove 186 miles in 3 hours, so 186 ÷ 3 = 62 miles per hour. A hose that fills a 150-liter tank in 8 minutes flows 18.75 liters per minute.

Find the unit price of each package by dividing the price by the number of units, then pick the lower one. Cereal at 12 oz for $3.48 is $0.29 per oz and 18 oz for $4.99 is $0.28 per oz, so the larger box is the better buy.

Multiply by a conversion factor written as a fraction so the old unit cancels. 120 feet per minute × (1 minute over 60 seconds) = 2 feet per second.

A percent is a rate per 100. On a hundred grid each square is 1 percent, so 37 shaded squares are 37%, 37/100 or 0.37.
