Study the example showing how to find the unit rate.
then solve problems 1-7.
example
a bus driver made 100 stops on his route in 5 days. the
double number line shows the relationship between the
number of stops and the number of days.
stops 0 20 40 60 80 100 120 140 150
days 0

in the diagram, 100 and 5 represent the ratio of 100 stops
to 5 days.
you can write a multiplication equation to show how
5 days and 100 stops are related.
5 x 20 = 100
look at the corresponding pairs of numbers on the
number lines. write a multiplication equation to show
how 3 days and 60 stops are related. repeat for two
other corresponding pairs of numbers.
2 what is the relationship between the number of stops
and each corresponding number of days?
3 what is the rate of stops per day? what is the unit rate?
