Evaluating Algebraic Expressions
5-2 Rates and Unit Rates
California Standards
MG1.3 Use measures expressed as rates (e.g., speed, density) and measures expressed as products (e.g., person-days) to solve problems; check the units of the solutions; and use dimensional analysis to check the reasonableness of the answer.

Ratio: 903
Rate: 90 miles3 hours
Read as “90 miles per 3 hours.”
A rate is a comparison of two quantities measured in different units.
Evaluating Algebraic Expressions
5-2 Rates and Unit Rates
Unit rates are rates in which the second quantity is 1.
unit rate: 30 miles,1 hour
or 30 mi/h
The ratio 903
can be simplified by dividing:
903
= 301

Evaluating Algebraic Expressions
5-2 Rates and Unit RatesAdditional Example 2A: Chemistry Application
Five cubic meters of copper has a mass of 44,800 kilograms. What is the density of copper?
Copper has a density of 8,960 kg/m3.
44,800 kg5 m3
Write the rate.
Divide to find kilograms per 1 m3.
44,800 kg ÷ 55 m3 ÷ 5
8,960 kg1 m3
