*6-2 Rates and Unit Rate.
*Rate
*A ratio that compares TWO quantities with different units
*Ex: 160 beats every 2 minutes
*Unit Rate
*When a rate has a denominator of 1

*Time on bottom
*Money ($) on top
*Think about what makes sense
*Write each unit rate*Ex: 360 miles in 6 hours
*Ex: 160 people for 5 classes
Always write the units!!!
