From the given graph,
5 pears can be purchased at the rate of $2
To find the unit rate of the price per pear, i.e for the price of a pear,
Let the price of a pear be x
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{2}{5}=\frac{x}{1} \\ \text{Crossmultiply} \\ 5\times x=2\times1 \\ 5x=2 \\ \text{Divide both sides by 5} \\ \frac{5x}{5}=\frac{2}{5} \\ x=\text{ \$0.4} \end{gathered}[/tex]
Hence, the unit rate of the price of a pear is $0.4
