Question

interactive practice: use unit rates to solve problems
adriana is folding paper cranes to send to the childrens peace monument in japan. she folds 50 paper cranes in 25 minutes. she wants to know how many cranes she can make if she keeps folding at the same rate.
first, find the unit rate. how many cranes does adriana fold in 1 minute?
cranes minutes
1
50 25

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the given values

Adriana folds 50 cranes in 25 minutes. We need to find the number of cranes per minute.

Step2: Calculate the unit rate

The unit rate (cranes per minute) is calculated by dividing the number of cranes by the number of minutes. So, we use the formula: $\text{Unit Rate} = \frac{\text{Number of Cranes}}{\text{Number of Minutes}}$.
Substituting the given values: $\text{Unit Rate} = \frac{50}{25}$.
Simplifying the fraction: $\frac{50}{25} = 2$.
