This math topic focuses on calculating unit rates from given total quantities and costs. The questions guide learners in determining the unit price in dollars per kilogram (for weight to cost ratios) and wage in dollars per hour (for hours worked to earnings). Each problem requires the student to divide the total cost by the total quantity to find the per-unit cost or wage, promoting an understanding of rates and practical application in everyday scenarios. This skill is fundamental in understanding and analyzing proportional relationships in various contexts.
