Answer:
unit rate = $0.4825

Explanation:
We know that 12 pairs cost $5.79.

Unit rate is defined as the price of ONE pair.

To know the unit rate which is the price of one pair, all we need to do is cross multiplication as follows:
12 pairs ..................> $5.79
1 pair ...................> ??
unit rate = [tex] \frac{1*5.59}{12} [/tex]

unit rate = $0.4825

Hope this helps :)

The unit rate for one pair of socks is 0.4825$

This is because we have the price for a dozen which is 5.79, so to calculate one pair we can simply divide the price of the dozen by the number in a dozen which is obviously 12.

So 5.79 dollars divided by 12 comes out be 0.4825$. We can further round off 0.4825 correct to 3 significant figures and write it as 0.483 which looks a little more user friendly number,
