How do you express 24 texts in 2 hours as a unit rate?

Answer 1

You write 12 texts per hour.

A unit ratio is one in which the terms have been simplified such that the second term is one.

To achieve that in this case, we must divide the time value by two. So, you also divide the "texts" value by two, or else the rate has a different meaning.

24 texts / 2 hours = 12 texts / 1 hour

To express 24 texts in 2 hours as a unit rate, divide the total number of texts by the total number of hours.

[ \text{Unit rate} = \frac{\text{Total number of texts}}{\text{Total number of hours}} ]

In this case, it would be:

[ \text{Unit rate} = \frac{24 \text{ texts}}{2 \text{ hours}} = 12 \text{ texts per hour} ]

So, the unit rate is 12 texts per hour.
