### Ratios
Let's begin with some examples of ratios:

**Examples:**
- 7. 3:1
- 10. 7:4

### Unit Rates
Next, let's learn how to find the unit rate from given data.

**Examples:**
13. Find the unit rate for $36 in 4 hours.
\[ \frac{\$36}{4 \, \text{h}} = \, \]

16. Find the unit rate for 300 words in 5 minutes.
\[ \frac{300 \, \text{words}}{5 \, \text{min}} = \, \]

19. Find the unit rate for 288 bottles in 12 cases.
\[ \frac{288 \, \text{bottles}}{12 \, \text{cases}} = \, \]

### Exercises
Try finding the unit rates for each of the examples above, and check your answers with the solutions provided at the bottom of the page. Understanding how to calculate and interpret unit rates will help in a variety of real-world scenarios, from budgeting to time management.
