Unit rates are super helpful when figuring out how fast something is going and how far it travels. Let me explain how they work for me:
Understanding speed: When I know the unit rate, like miles per hour (mph), it’s easy to tell how fast something is moving. For example, if a car goes 60 mph, it travels one mile every minute!
Calculating distances: If I know the speed and how long I've traveled, I can use this simple formula:
Distance = Speed × Time
This helps me guess how far I will go on a trip.
Using these ideas makes everything clearer and helps me plan better!
