A unit rate is a comparison of two different quantities where one is expressed as a value of one, such as speed in miles per hour. An example is driving at 60 miles per hour on a highway, which signifies that you cover 60 miles in one hour. Understanding unit rates helps in real-world scenarios like estimating travel times.
