Store A advertises a sale for 3 loaves of bread for $5.94. Explain how to use an equivalent rate to find the unit price of the bread at Store A. ANSWER:
To find the Unit Price of the loaves of bread just divide the cost by the number of loaves it cost.

5.94 / 3 = $1.98

Each loaf (Unit Price) costs $1.983 loaves of bread costs $5.94, to find the unit price, you just divide the price by the number of loaves.

$5.94÷3≈$1.98

The unit price is $1.98 per loaf of bread.
also the SAMPLE RESPONSE: I wrote the rate, with $5.94 in the numerator and 3 loaves in the denominator. I needed to find an equivalent rate expressed as a fraction with the denominator of 1. I noticed 3 loaves divided by 3 gave a denominator of 1, so I divided $5.94 by 3 to find that each loaf costs $1.98.
