Outcomes

6.RP.2

Understand the concept of a unit rate 𝑎/𝑏 associated with a ratio a:b with b ≠ 0 (b not equal to zero), and use rate language in the context of a ratio relationship, including the use of units. "Expectations for unit rates in this grade are limited to non-complex fractions.

6.RP.3

Use ratio and rate reasoning to solve real-world and mathematical problems, e.g., by reasoning about tables of equivalent ratios, tape diagrams, double number line diagrams, or equations.

6.RP.3b

b. Solve unit rate problems including those involving unit pricing and constant speed. For example, If it took 7 hours to mow 4 lawns, then at that rate, how many lawns could be mowed in 35 hours? At what rate were lawns being mowed? For example, If it took 7 hours to mow 4 lawns, then at that rate, how many lawns could be mowed in 35 hours? At what rate were lawns being mowed?
