Unit Rates Practice Tests

These Grade 6 Math practice tests help students find and interpret the amount for one unit. Students practice unit prices, speed, production rates, fractions, decimals, tables, equations, graph relationships, shopping comparisons, and real-world decisions.

Skills covered

  • Finding unit rates by dividing a total by the number of units
  • Comparing unit prices for different package sizes
  • Calculating speed, reading rate, production rate, and fuel rate
  • Dividing fractions and decimals to find a rate per one unit
  • Using rate tables, equations, and constant-rate relationships
  • Keeping units clear and converting time or measurement when needed
  • Estimating and checking whether a unit-rate answer is reasonable

How to use these practice tests

Write the total quantity first and the number of units second. Divide in that order, keep the units in the answer, and compare unit rates only when the units match. For fraction and decimal problems, show the division or equivalent multiplication and check the result against the situation.

A recipe uses 34\frac{3}{4} cup of oil for 6 servings. How much oil is used per serving?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is 18\frac{1}{8} cup.

  1. Identify the two quantities: Write the total amount and the number of units with their labels.
  2. Divide by the number of units: Divide 34\frac{3}{4} by 6: 34÷6=324=18\frac{3}{4} \div 6 = \frac{3}{24} = \frac{1}{8} cup per serving.
  3. Check the unit rate: The correct choice is 18\frac{1}{8} cup.

Divide 34\frac{3}{4} by 6: 34÷6=324=18\frac{3}{4} \div 6 = \frac{3}{24} = \frac{1}{8} cup per serving.
