A. What ratio of fiction books sold to non fiction books sold.
B. Write this ratio as a unit rate of fiction books to non fiction books.
C. Explain how you found the unit rate.

Sagot :

A=3
B=1/3
c=12/3 = 4
B=it means per each non fiction book he will sell 3 fiction books

A) 12 fiction : 4 nonfiction
= 3:1 (When we divide by 4 on each side to simplify)
B) 12:4
= 3:1
C) We put the number of fiction books to nonfiction in a ration then simplified the answer so it was a unit rate.
D) This means that for every 3 fiction books, there will be 1 nonfiction book
