About this worksheet

Unit rates with fractions. Every version has 10 questions, and the answer key prints on the second page.

What your child will learn

  • I can find the amount for 1 when one or both amounts are fractions: 3/4 mile in 1/2 hour is 1 1/2 miles for 1 hour.
  • I can find the rate both ways (miles for 1 hour, hours for 1 mile), and I know the two multiply to 1.
  • I can change the time unit first (25 minutes to 60 minutes), then use a rate to find an amount.

Standard: 7.RP.A.1

Words to know

unit rate: The amount of one thing for exactly 1 of another, like miles for 1 hour.

per / for each: The thing after these words is the one that becomes 1.

the 1 row: The table row whose first number is 1. Its second number is the unit rate.

like units: Both amounts are measured in the same unit, like feet of stick and feet of shadow.

rate for 1 (the other way): Flip which thing becomes 1: hours for 1 mile instead of miles for 1 hour.

Common mistakes

Your child divided the two amounts the wrong way round, so the answer is for 1 of the other thing.

Your child gave one of the amounts from the story instead of the amount for exactly 1.

Ask: if 1/2 mile takes 1/4 hour, does a whole hour go farther or less far than 1/2 mile?
