These 20 problems train the skill in standard 7.RP.A.1: computing unit rates from ratios of fractions. They start with a single complex fraction and move to rates with mixed units, areas, tables and comparisons.
Work in order. Write each division as a fraction first, multiply by the reciprocal, simplify, and always attach the unit to the answer.
