Watch this video to help you consider many problems coming up in unit 3. Unit 3 is all about unit rates. Unit rate mean the amount for 1.

Here's another example: If I were to by 4 2-liter bottles of Sprite for $5.00, how much for one bottle? That's right, you'd divide 5 dollars by 4 bottles and get $1.25 per bottle. You could check that by adding $1.25 a total of 4 times.
