How do you find the unit rate of Three medium apples have about 285 calories?

Answer 1

Divide the total amount by the number of units.

A “unit rate” is the average rate for a single unit. This is found by dividing the total amount of an item by the number of units in the group.

In this case we have the ratio of #(3/285)# #("Apples")/("calories")#. We want to know the calories per unit (apple), so we invert this to #(285/3) ("calories")/("Apples")#, which when reduced by performing the indicated division is #95 ("calories")/("Apple")#

To find the unit rate, divide the total quantity by the given amount. In this case, you would divide the total calories (285) by the number of apples (3).

Unit rate = Total calories / Number of apples Unit rate = 285 calories / 3 apples Unit rate = 95 calories/apple

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
