Jerry bought some pears at the store. he paid 4.59$ for 5.4 pounds of pears what is the unit rate?

To find the unit rate you will take the price Jerry paid and divide it by the amount in pounds of pears.

Unit rate = $4.59/5.4 lb

Unit rate = $0.85

You can check your answer by multiplying the amount of pears Jerry purchased by the unit price to get the total price.

(5.4 lb of pairs) ($0.85) = $4.59
