Unit Rate Problems Lesson: Constant Speed & Steady Rates, Grades 6-7

Once students know a unit rate, what can they do with it? This lesson answers three questions: how far in many hours, how long for a given amount, and which one is faster. Constant speed is the same distance in every unit of time, and a steady rate is the same amount in every unit of time.
