What is Unit Rate?
Unit rate is the ratio of a quantity with respect to another single quantity . In the other word, we can define unit rate as how many units of a quantity is there corresponding to a **single **unit of another quantity.
For example, **speed **is a unit rate in terms of distance and the time taken to cover that distance.
**Population **density is also a unit rate in terms of the number of people in an area and the size of that area.
Population density = Number of people / Size of the land
**Number **of people in the state = 1,329,192 people
**Size **of the land in the state = 35,385 square miles
Population Density = 1,329,192 / 35,385
= 37.56
≈ 38
Hence the population **density **in a state of size 35,385 square miles having 1,329,192 people is 38 people per square mile.
