Bloomin' GeniusPlayback speed:
An office printer prints 96 pages in 4 minutes. It always prints at the same speed. How many pages does it print in 1 minute? How many pages in 7 minutes?
In this video
- Share the total equally to get down to 1.
- Count up from the unit rate on a double number line.
- Divide to find the rate for 1, the way it's done in class.
Try it together
A runner goes 18 miles in 3 hours at a steady pace. How many miles per hour? How far in 5 hours?
Show the answer
6 miles per hour; 30 miles
18 ÷ 3 = 6 miles in 1 hour. Then 5 hours × 6 miles = 30 miles.
Ask, don't tell
“How many boxes do we need? Why 4?”
“Where is 1 minute on the line? What number of pages is above it?”
