CCSS.7.RP.A.1 Compute unit rates associated with ratios of fractions, including ratios of lengths, areas and other quantities measured in like or different units. For example, if a person walks 1/2 mile in each 1/4 hour, compute the unit rate as the complex fraction ½/¼ miles per hour, equivalently 2 miles per hour.

TEKS.7.4.B calculate unit rates from rates in mathematical and real-world problems;

TEKS.7.4.D solve problems involving ratios, rates, and percents, including multi-step problems involving percent increase and percent decrease, and financial literacy problems; and

IN.7.C.5 Compute unit rates associated with ratios of fractions, including ratios of lengths, areas and other quantities measured in like or different units.

VA.PFA.6.12.b determine the unit rate of a proportional relationship and use it to find a missing value in a ratio table;

VA.CE.7.3 The student will solve single-step and multistep practical problems, using proportional reasoning.

VA.CE.7.2 The student will solve practical problems involving operations with rational numbers.
